The 'Glass Mousepad' Fallacy

An informal fallacy in which you lambast or criticize someone for doing something unhealthy when you yourself do comparably unhealthy habits or actions. Essentially, it is hypocrisy specifically in the form of habit.
"Hey Conner, it's ridiculous how you spend hundreds of dollars on glass mousepads. That is such a waste of money, for shame!"
"How utterly preposterous of you to propose, Anthony; In actuality, you are committing the 'glass mousepad' fallacy. Why is it bad when I have unhealthy spending habits when you spend hundreds of dollars on Touhou merchandise? Why don't you practice what you preach!?"

Fallacy

A mistaken belief.

Fallacy means literally 'that you are mistaken in believing that the words that you are saying is consistent with the conclusion you are drawing' and, therefore, aren't justified in saying it or acting on the conclusion. Fallacy = Retarded."
