vem / virá para tomar um cafezinho e bancar o coitado / e choramingar
“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...
Há pessoas que confundem humildade com o péssimo hábito de bancar o coitado para angariar simpatia.
| Obrigado, Oliveira. |
