Can you name one area in your life where you are a hypocrite?
Such a popular word on the internet.
Here’s my small time example:
I’m openly critical of Apple Computer’s business practices while I own an iPhone and have bought music on iTunes recently, but their new phone looks damn cool and I’m probably going to buy it.

Yes, I believe that I can name at least one.
Perhaps more
I love animals and want to scratch them behind the ears. Then I eat some.
I’m always outraged when my husband breaks wind in my presence, but I never hold back from reciprocating.
^^
And I get overly frustrated with DH for being grumpy when tired but I do the same myself. Actually there are probably a handful of similar ones with DH… perhaps I should evaluate that. LOL
really want to eat only local organic foods and buy local products and not support any sort of 3rd world abuses but I fail
I always tell people to stick up for themselves, but I’m way more passive when it comes to doing it myself.
I always tell people to make me a sandwich, but I’m actually more of a panino kind of guy.
What, that’s not hypocritical?
@Vunessuh Aww, people shouldn’t take advantage of your big, kind heart!
Say, will you be a doll and make me a sandwich?
@bob_ With your avatar, there’s little you can say that isn’t going to make me laugh.
I mean that in a good way
I’m a vegetarian for ethical reasons but whenever I get the chance I eat a baby.
@bob_ See? There it is!
@Vunessuh Dang, Bats is not to be messed with apparently.
Nope, it’s like eating only one Lay’s potato chip, it can’t be done. I could give you a small list of my top 3 hypocritical moments.
1. I get pissy if someone stops in the entrance and blocks my way and I have found myself standing in the same doorway looking for my keys or some such thing blocking someone else.
2. It irritates me when others are indecisive but when I do it it doesn’t irritate me at all.
3. I don’t like hearing a roaring party at the neighbors when I’m trying to sleep but I keep my tunes cranked up pretty late when we have a party.
I chant Shabbat prayers every Friday night and I’m an atheist.
I hate haters and sometimes I even troll trolls (or antagonize antagonizers) . I know that makes no sense but there you have it. Oh no. I also just realized I am intolerant of intolerence.
I implicitly believe in the power of reason.
I hate holidays, but I buy people gifts for Christmas and Hanukkah.
Yeah… the loving animals thing and then eating them….. definite hypocrisy going on there.
So, the wearing of leather to perhaps…
Oh,,, and I hate judgemental people… lol.

I tell people if they are in a bad, un-loving, un-rewarding, un-supportive relationship with someone who doesn’t truly love, cherish and respect them to get out of it as soon as possible because life is too short to waste time in a relationship like that, but I have been in such a relationship for more than a year, and my previous two-year plus relationship was also such a relationship.
I bitch about kids being everywhere and how annoying they are even though I know I would probably want to start a small family someday? Lol.
I’m gay and Jewish… but not a liberal
someone slap me
I criticise guys that are hard core alpha male extroverts as being brainless hunks but secretly want to be like them. [they get all the herd females]
@wtfrickinfrack What the frickinfrack…..You aren’t a republican are you lol?
@bob – I LOL’ed.
I suppose I’m a hypocrite with the breathe and meditate stuff, but that’s why it’s called a practice.
@bob_ – I’m from NYC, ergo, I don’t cook. Here’s $5. Go get a Subway. ;)
:P
I say I want to live simply, and then I watch Jeeves and Wooster DVDs and lust after this house and this house, complete with help, ball gowns, car(s) and driver, horses, etc., etc..
I expect my partner to find ways other than substance abuse to deal with stresses but there are times myself where I’ve abused medications when I’ve been angry or overstressed. I know it’s not right or fair but a little voice in my head says, “he’s an addict and you’re not so if you act out now and then nothing worse will happen.”
