There's nothing like being both pedantic and wrong, innit? My apologies.
So we are lacking a word for finding solace in the misfortune of friends. Any suggestions?

Tiso: The Predictatron! Good work sir.
Well thank you ma'm. Can't tell you how much easier it is to attend to daily tasks now that I've regained the use of both hands.
