cringe-joyment

To take pleasure in something that simultaneously causes feelings of awkwardness or embarrassment

For your cringe-joyment, I've forwarded you a love poem I just received from my ex. It rhymes, compares me to a summer's day, and is riddled with misspellings.

My mother was always such a stern woman that you never would have guessed her biggest joyment came from receiving a simple phone call from me.
