MODERATORS
This type of thing is the nominal purpose of credit scores, I believe. (Whether they're implemented effectively is another story...)
They didn't say that's why they rejected them. Maybe they'd be rejected either way, they just got to be happy about it.
We don’t know that was why they denied it, this could be shadenfreud (sp?) because they would be denied regardless.
At least I choose to believe that, because I can’t imagine being petty enough to do that.
„Schadenfreude“
Schraderbräu, got it.
Usually, one feels Schadenfreude when something bad 'just' happens to somebody else, like Karma, but not due to ones own actions.
Is there a fun German (or any other language) word for taking delight in the pain of others when it totally is their fault, and their fault alone?
And then you exclaim: "Haha, du Schaf!"
Du. Du Schaf. Du Schaf Mich!
Very good. Now do your Duolingo. *patpat* Off you go.
Upps. Aber: ja.
;)
Right? "Made me cry on a school trip" (for reasons that I'm sure we're totally out of line on the teacher's part and omitted just for brevity's sake)
I dunno, some teachers are sadists too proud or ugly for a career path more in line with their personality.
Dawn, imagine being so ugly that there is no career path that is in line with your personality available.
Well, OP is just an asshole then. (I'm guessing this isn't really OPs post)
Depends on the circumstances. One might feel a bit smug when karma strikes back as long as one acts professionally. The teacher might have gotten rejected for absolute objective and normal reasons. Like thousands of people do.
And after handling that professionally the poster can humanely feel smug and happy for a short moment in their otherwise likely stressful adult life. And that's okay.
By profession (emergency medicine with a stint in forensic mental health) I get into contact with some really bad people who have done really nasty things. Will I treat them as professionally as I treat every patient? Yes. But there are moments. Years ago I responded to a patient getting bitten in his ass by a police dog(as in the dog literally did bite a seizable piece of meat out of it)after fleeing a scene of a DUI stop(and punching a young police officer). At the same time as we arrive the detective superintendent arrives(as it is protocol here in these cases when someone gets injured by police directly). He is a fairly nice chap I went to school with - and who was relentlessly bullied by a guy a few grades above us. Like...really really bad...to a level that would land one in prison these days. Well, the world is small and guess who Mr. Dogfood was.
Well. We did our job as professionally as we do it with everyone. But when the patient was handed over in hospital we had a good chuckle, cracked a few bad jokes somewhere no member of the public could hear us,asked each other how the respective wives were doing and went on with our workday. And that's okay.
They didn't say they rejected it out of revenge.
Maybe the teacher was a shitty mortgage applicant with terrible credit and multiple foreclosures and the fact that they got to reject the application was just the cherry on top.
I bet the real reason they were rejected is because their only income is a teacher's salary. That's not enough to afford a house these days
I bet the real reason is that this is fake
Yeah, I'm pretty sure there are some strict guidelines around mortgage application acceptance or rejection.
Are you telling me personal petty revenge isn't a certified approved bank reason?!
This is not my post, no. It is incredibly petty!
There are some teachers I had who were absolutely bad people, but honestly, they are teachers and you are not. You already have the best revenge.
That's just small.
Yeah, this is no where near enough revenge. She needs to go bigger.

To estimate the size of the act, one should use a banana.
For scale.
