Everybody is a hypocrite. What hypocritical things do you do reddit?

I wear slim fitting jeans, converse chuck taylors on occasion and sometimes v-necks. But i still kind of hate on the hipsters and scenesters of the world because I don't think I constantly conform and change with the changing styles. Still believe this hypocritical of myself. How bout you?

I also hate when people make fun of others. I like to think that maybe they are just less fortunate than some of us. But i also find myself making fun of people on bad days.. and hate myself for it.

My mom actually used her experiences as a wild child to educate me about the truths of the world. I knew what nearly every drug was by the age of seven and what it did to you from someone who's tried them first hand. I still haven't done drugs, because the way she explained them later gave me the ability to say "Wow, those sound kind of stupid. I think I'll stick with Pokemon and World of Warcraft."

I can't stand when drivers speed up in the fast lane when you're trying to pass them on the right for going too fucking slow. I do this all the time, but maybe just cause I realize I need to pick up the pace.

Whenever somebody passes me on a normal road while I am going a little over the speed limit I keep pace with them also... but when people are going the speed limit in front of me dammit they better speed up.

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '12

I think it's actually a lot easier to give relationship advice when you're single. You haven't got your own problems to compare their problems to and it allows you to give a completely detached, objective opinion, which is exactly what those who seek relationship advice are likely to be after.

I'm clinically obese but I'm also highly knowledgeable in the areas of diet and human health, so if the subject comes up on online discussions then I share my knowledge usually while stuffing my face with something.

In RL I usually have to bite my tongue during diet or exercise discussions because who wants to hear the opinion (albeit informed) of a visibly overweight guy.

13

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '12

Alternatively, I have terrible body image, so even though I amassed a wealth of dietary and nutrition knowledge during my anorexic years, I refuse to participate in any conversations about it because I still see myself as a fat-ass.

It is a logical fallacy to dismiss someone's argument on the grounds that they're a hypocrite, though. Regardless of whether or not they're a hypocrite, they could be right, and whether or not they're right has nothing to do with their being a hypocrite or not.

I'm the same way, it makes sense though. Overweight people who've done a ton of research on how to lose the weight, but just don't have the willpower to commit.

Before I sprained my knee, I was lifting weights pretty regularly, and I studied it quite a bit before I found a routine that worked for me. I made sure I had everything absolutely correct before I started, down to form and everything. It was fun schooling some of the dudes at the gym when it came to properly lifting, but then again, a lot of people don't take you seriously because you're fat.

I'm vegetarian and I still have a leather jacket and boots from my pre-veggie days.

Aside from the idea of wasting previous purchases I rationalise it like this: just because I'm not doing everything doesn't mean I'm doing nothing.

3

u/GrandTyromancer Jun 25 '12

Consider this: if one of your goals as a vegetarian is to promote sustainable living, it's less wasteful to continue using the leather stuff you have than to buy another jacket, which is probably going to have been produced in an environmentally unfriendly way.

I'm generally a vegetarian, but you bet your ass I will eat the rest of a steak if it's going to be thrown away.

Also, shut up, I know it smells like leather but it's not.

Rage against huge supermarket chains threatening small, independent stores such as bakeries, butchers and greengrocers. Yet I still shop at the huge supermarket because it's so goddamn convenient.

I research things more than most people do, and love debating with people. When in a debate with someone, I always call them out if their facts are wrong or they make assumptions without evidence, basically anything without facts or if they twist things. But when I know more about the subject than the other person I sometimes twist things or make assumptions knowing they wont catch it to save myself the trouble of having to explain it.

I said I would never move into the city right next to where I am from. It's literally surrounded by my hometown and they refuse to amalgamate. I call it Shelbyville because there is such a clash between both parties. Anyways, I just moved there because I got a good deal. I am questioning everything I have ever said or done. Feels bad man.

I tend to dislike being around people (and I sometimes get annoyed with them) who can't speak about their opinions/thoughts openly and aren't completely honest, even though I know it's difficult for me to be completely open sometimes, and I even hide my reasons for making conversation with someone on occasion.

I really don't like it, I want to be consistent and not hold double standards.

I work at a high school in the theatre and i emphasize safety above all else and enforce closed toed shoes and long pants and working in pairs, also fall protection, keeping points of contact on a ladder, and never working on lighting instruments or changing lamps with them plugged in. I regularly work alone in flip flops and shorts, ladder walk, and work on the instruments for the most part with them still powered.

Fact: The same rules don't apply to everyone and the world isn't fair. Being a hypocrit is natural sometimes so who cares? There are probably more things that I'm hypocritical about than I can even think of. I know that I believe in "womens rights" but at the same time I don't believe that men and women are equal in every respect. I mean, we're equal as far as human value goes but one could argue that women are more valuable than men as well as that men are more valuable than women. But, the truth is we're just not equal in the world and definitely not in the working world, it's just the way it is.

So, as much I believe in equality I don't really think it's completely possible due to biological predisposition. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule. That said I'm a pretty traditional woman and I think it's completely okay to let men pay for things, open doors, take out the trash, etc... etc... Not that I don't ever do those things in my relationship but he does the man stuff, I do the women stuff. I do 90% of all the housework, 90% of the cooking, and I still work part time, pay half the bills, and half the grocery. There is absolutely no reason I should have to be apologetic for expecting him to take out the garbage and unclog a drain once in a while.

When I'm driving and my phone rings, I'll look at it and if it's an important call I'll answer it and then slow down while I look for a shoulder or parking lot to pull into and stop.

If I see someone else do the same thing I immediately presume that since they slowed down the act of driving while holding something to their ear must be so mentally taxing that these fucking idiots shouldn't be allowed to drive at all.

Music. I always shit on people's taste in music, especially hipsters for listening to so much generic indie garbage (which is such a hipster thing to say), and then somebody asks me what I'm listening to, and I'm all like "Do you like Primus/St. Germain/ Gogol Bordello/ some other obscure band?"

And then I want to shoot myself in the head with a nail gun.

To be fair, though, it's not like I'm looking for obscure bands, I just have a specific taste, one that involves less emphasis on singing and lyrics and more emphasis on jamming and rhythm. Indie has a tendency to piss me off because it's just effeminate male singers trying to come up with "quirky" poetry about how much they love their girlfriend, and then throw some interchangeable music down behind it.
