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".

if you are a type of person who is easily offended, do not go around offending people unless you can handle being offended yourself.
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!

Person B - People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Glass Bottomed Boat

This is for poop freaks that might not want to go all the way. Person A (the shitter) and person B (the target a.k.a the person "shat" upon) Person B lays under a glass top coffee table while looking up. Person A takes a dump over the persons face, or other appropriate area of choice. Thus simulating being "pooped on" without all the mess. (I belive the smell could still be an issue)
origin: unknown, though based on glass bottom boats used to watch fish .
"After we scored few lines of coke off my glass topped coffee table, I climbed under it and had my "lover" straddle on top, with her cheeks spread. Her ass opened like the mouth of a lamprey and deposited a big healthy turd over my face. I licked the glass as if I were a fish under a "glass bottomed boat"
