Ytd saw a lady almost trip and fall, but I felt happy if she did as she was glued to her phone throughout
I think we are definitely normal because these people deserve it

Why do we find humor in others' pain?
https://www.seattletimes.com/news/why-do-we-find-humor-in-others-pain/
Upbringing, comfort level and personality might explain why some can take pleasure in another’s pain. Whatever the reason, scholars say the trademarks of humor can inspire laughter even in unfortunate situations.
“Incongruity is at the heart of humor, the sudden difference of what we expect and what we get,” said M. Thomas Inge, humanities professor at Randolph-Macon College.

Why do people enjoy watching others suffer?

google ai
People sometimes enjoy watching others suffer due to a psychological phenomenon called "schadenfreude," which is the pleasure derived from observing the misfortune or pain of others, often stemming from feelings of envy, a sense of relative superiority, or a belief that the suffering person deserves their fate, especially if they are perceived as being of a higher status or having acted unfairly; this can activate the brain's reward centers, making the experience feel pleasurable.
Key points about schadenfreude:

Social comparison:
When someone we perceive as being "better" than us experiences misfortune, it can make us feel better about ourselves and our own situation, leading to a sense of satisfaction.

Envy and resentment:
If we are envious of someone's success, seeing them suffer can provide a sense of justice or vindication.
"Tall poppy syndrome":
People may take particular pleasure in seeing those who are considered very successful or high-status experience setbacks.
Moral judgment:
Sometimes, schadenfreude can be linked to a perception that the person suffering deserves their misfortune due to their actions

Another scenario is ginnas running amok in supermarkets or buses, creating inconvenience for others while their parents looked on with 'pride'. And then the ginnas tripped and fell.

Or PMAs/PMDs terrorizing pedestrians on footpaths, especially the elderly hard of hearing.

I guess being regular human, that happiness that sprung out when these people got what they deserve for their self-inflicted acts, are quite normal.

I can explain this

Because unlike ww2, you didn't watch them die, guts splattered, slowly piece by piece cut off

I remember those boomer when still alive 20 yr ago, they pretty serious about accidents big or small, even if not related

The contrast to their grandchildren showing monkey grins was huge. Call it a feeling.

Which is why those in healthcare jobs, i don't really trust anymore

Everyone is conditioned differently so were you.
if you call this abnormal, I guess it applies to all others too.

having said that “do not do onto others what you do not want others do onto you”.

what goes around comes around.
