It's so bad...but not bad enough

I had driven by the Bugaboocreek Steakhouse a number of times but was finally coerced into going by someone at work offering to buy lunch. By the looks of the outside and the imagined inside [ above ] I thought it would be a lot like me shopping at K-Mart...very, very improbable while cheap and tacky at the same time. But, other than the talking moose above the bar that startled me and the other animatronic junk scattered throughout the dining room, the food was actually pretty good and thus I experienced the dreaded scheissenbedauern.

scheissenbedauern [SHY-sen-BUH-dowrn] noun - "the disappointment one feels when exposed to something that is not nearly as bad as one hoped it would be." literally translates as "shit regret".
