English term or phrase: come up for coffee as a pity party
Gostaria de sugestões para esse trecho no seguinte contexto:

"Hey walking home with him now, sorry just realized this didn't send. Also he's gonna come up for coffee as a pity party :/ midterm sucked".

vem tomar café para (me) consolar / chorar as pitangas
Explanation:
O contexto indica uma linguagem informal e a definição de “pity party” em situações informais normalmente tem conexão com autopiedade. Se a pessoa responsável pelo “midterm” for o locutor, a pessoa que vem visitar (e tomar café com ele) pode consolá-lo. Se foi de responsabilidade coletiva, pode ser usada a expressão no português brasileiro “chorar as pitangas”.

vem / virá para tomar um cafezinho e bancar o coitado / e choramingar


Explanation:
Pity party: an instance of indulging in self-pity or eliciting pity from other people. (Definição encontrada no dicionário)

“Choramingar” não tem o mesmo sentido, mas talvez possa ser uma alternativa.

Choramingar: chorar por motivos fúteis ou sem causa aparente
https://www.aulete.com.br/Choramingar

Imagino que neste contexto, a pessoa vai choramingar sobre as dificuldades encontradas no teste, como ela não estava preparada, dormiu mal na noite anterior, levantou não sei quantas vezes para ir ao banheiro etc. a fim de angariar empatia do outro.

Outro exemplo com “bancar o coitado”:
“A humildade não consiste em cobrir-se de toneladas de lixo e bancar o coitado.” — https://books.google.com/books?id=C5DhCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA64&lpg=P...

Example sentence(s):
  • Há pessoas que confundem humildade com o péssimo hábito de bancar o coitado para angariar simpatia.
