The bearer of bad news

Has anyone ever had a 'friend' who was the bearer of "bad" news? Trivial bad news. It seemed the bearer was a bit too excited and could not wait to tell you. Right off this person was almost giddy about telling you something s/he had heard or saw. And OMG they just felt joyfully terrible!! You can just feel the gloating oozing out of their smile. And of course they put their own personal spin on things so their tone makes it seem much worse than it was. And they sit back and relish in your reaction. Is this person really a friend?? What's the motivation behind that? Sabotage? Jealousy? Yes... jealousy. Thankfully I know how this person operates and I won't miss the opportunity to repay the favor.
