Is it normal this little pleasure of mine.

I live in a largely unplanned metropolis whose traffic is chaotic, where public transport lacks quality, and whose citizens lack civility and respect. After having suffered a long time with this, I finally achieved a work near to my house which relieves me of that daily probation. Is it normal that on stormy days, where the traffic becomes worse than ever, I enjoy sitting in my easy chair, with a plate of cookies, and listen to the traffic radio, because I have fun with people's misfortune on traffic?

(I'm not a sadistic monster, of course if someone dies I don't feel any pleasure at all, just horror and pity.)

    If it makes you happy, go for it!! Almost everyone takes pleasure of SOME sort at SOME point in other people's (slight) suffering.

    When it rains, I enjoy sitting at my window inside my warm room to watch the people outside trudge through mud and get wet.

    It's really comforting :D

    I'm inside comfy, they're outside facing the weather... unless they're homeless of course.

    I would never do this - purely because I wouldn't think of it.

    It's a bit odd, and obviously not morally sound, but it must be nice to be able to relax like that and think of how much better of you are than all those poor bastards stuck in traffic.

    In a way, it's nice to be a bit sadistic sometimes.

    I can see taking comfort in and getting enjoyment from the knowledge that it's awful outside but you're inside all safe, warm and cozy with cookies no less. I reckon the traffic reports just serve to reinforce the juxtaposition of your warm fuzzy state to the hell that's breaking loose outside. Besides rain is a soothing sound.

    Hey, where do you live anyway?

        Isn't that one of the largest cities in the world?

        Is it beautiful, exotic and chaotic?

          The things that some people find beautiful about São Paulo don't attract me at all. I think this is a cruel, sad city. Would God I could live in a smaller city!

            Right on. Are there a lot of street urchins there? I don't know what they call them in Brazil but when I was about five years old my mom took my sister and me to Bogota, Colombia and there were lots of orphaned street children. They were scary to me at five years old!
