Laughing at other people's misfortunes.

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Is it wrong to laugh to at other people's misfortunes? My fiancee just text me to say that my 3 year old step son just ran into a lamp post and I pissed myself laughing.
Lets just say she isn't very happy with my reaction because he has a bumped and bruised head, but inside I am still laughing.
Am I a bad man?

Depends what damage they do.

I bet she would have laughed if you did that, so no, no it's not.

I imagine it would have looked something like this

Years ago down by STA travel i saw an elderly man pushing his wife in her wheelchair. As he lifted the chair up to go back up the kerb onto the pavement, the wheel fell off . After laughing my nuts off, me and some other random who also was wetting himself went to help. it was a real beadles about moment.

I love hearing about ex's who've made bad life choices after we broke up. Then I feel instantly terrible and a massive need to want to help them, then I decide that'd be weird. I guess I just have a need to want to help others, and an odd sense of humour.

Does this make me a bad person? I'm not sure I care.. so probably.

Basic human nature. Every joke needs a victim.

No harm laughing as long as it is not in a malicious way.

Check someone's ok, then laugh. Sometimes it's not that easy though. Some things are just FUNNY.

Lets just say she isn't very happy with my reaction because he has a bumped and bruised head, but inside I am still laughing.

Na i think its the basis or all comedy.

Fine to laugh... unless serious, or malicious.

I think you're a weirdo to be honest , slapstick style mishaps can be funny if witnessed, but laughing at a 3 year old running into a lamppost, who has a bumped and bruised head, and you didnt even see it ?

Hurt myself on a digger and the guy working for me was good enough to ask for permission to laugh.

I laugh when my daughter throws a tantrum. Boy does she not like that.
