People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

Commonly misinterpreted as being a proverb warning against hypocrisy. This is incorrect.

The actual meaning is closer to that of "if you can't take it, don't dish it out".

Person A - Katie is such a bitch. All I did was say she was a little bit fat, and she's going around calling me a stupid cow behind my back!

Glass Houses

A 1980 studio album by American singer/songwriter/pianist Billy Joel, went to number one on the album charts and has two of the 80s most memorable songs, ''You May Be Right'', and ''It's Still Rock and Roll To Me''. Critically well received because of Joel's versatility in his ability to shift from the jazz and pop themes of his previous albums to pure, new wave inspired rock and roll.
Glass Houses is now in its fifth week straight on top of the charts. Billy Joel really knows how to rock.
