Worst examples of hypocrisy.

I was thinking the other day about how hypocritical an exBF of mine was. He was an alcoholic (think 6 -8 cans strong lager and a quarter bottle of vodka a day). His alcoholism is the main reason he is an ex as it all got too much for me to deal with. Anyway,a couple of days ago I found myself going over in my head a conversations that we'd had,mainly regarding food and taking medication for things such as a headache. I was sitting eating some toasted muffins with marmite on,and he said 'I don't know how you can eat food like that. It's junk'. I was like Shock at his attitude. And when I took a couple of paracetamol at the first sign of a headache,he said 'You're too reliant on those things. You'll fuck your body up if you keep taking them.' To which I said 'Oh right,and you're not fucking your body up with your excessive consumption of alcohol?' Another time,he complained that me paying £2.60 for a cup of coffee was 'excessive'. I said 'Yes,it is isn't it? Just think,you could have bought 2 cans of lager with that'. His hypocritical attitude really got to me.

My Dsis is mega hypocritical.

We were at Centre Parcs this summer and she moaned and moaned that my middle SC was 'too reliant on screens'.

I've just been round to hers and my nephews went from Xbox to iPad to phones. I was there 3 hours, she never said a word to them!

Plus if I get sloshed I need to 'grow up' but she's taken to posting about how pissed she gets with her friends at the weekend. I actually find her very amusing as she's completely unaware of the hypocrisy.

The weird obsession some Mumsnetters have with people "judging". If a poster is deemed to have 'judged' someone, the thread can turn into the Salem witch-trials. Often the initial act of judging is either quite minor or a reasonable inference, but even where it was unfortunate, the reaction is very erm, judgemental.

I have a relative that is a JW and is very vocal about not celebrating Christmas or birthdays. However, they get very offended if they’re the only one in the family not to be invited to a birthday party (they pick and choose which party they’d like to attend. Small affair at home = decline, big fancy affair with catered food etc = accept) and I have spent Christmases with them in the same house where they partook in all festive activities excluding giving presents although they happily received them because everybody else celebrated Christmas.

It’s a ‘matter of conscience’ apparently. Uh huuhhh.... Hmm
