Today, I yelled at my boyfriend for smoking in the house, because I didn't want the house to smell like smoke. While doing so, I knocked over a candle and lit the couch on fire. FML

It baffles me on how you're able to knock something over while shouting, unless your voice was superhuman-powerful.

Do you understand the definition of a hypocrite? If she yelled at him for smoking then she started smoking that would make her a hypocrite. What she did was a mistake

If anything, it's ironic. Even that's debatable.

It's hypocritical because her complaint towards him is that he was making the house smell like smoke. By setting the couch on fire, and thereby causing the house to smell like smoke, she was doing exactly what she was yelling at her partner for. Hence she becomes a hypocrite. Logic people, use it.

Get your definitions straight, #46.
Hypocrite: a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.
Is she an hypocrite for setting the couch on fire by ACCIDENT? You are making it sound like she did it on purpose, which is not the case.

Actually, #46, she's a hypocrite for yelling at him for making the house smell like smoke, WHILE SHE HAD A CANDLE LIT.

Last time I checked candles didn't make the house smell like shit. Cigarettes do.

51, No sir or mamn I have them quite straight thank you very much. Whether intentional or accidental does not change an outcome. Your own definition proves that. "especially a person whose actions Belie stated beliefs". Nowhere in that definition does it give leeway for your interpretation that because it was an accident she was not responsible. To say that you do not want your house smelling like smoke, then lighting a candle (which produces smoke), then setting the couch on fire (more smoke whether intentional or not) makes her a hypocrite. That is all.

The word you're looking for is "Irony", #70, look it up. And please, don't try to bend the definition to your favor, the rest of the definition clearly says what I was trying to say (see "PRETEND"). I'll get more definitions of the word for you.
Irony: an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected. // incongruity between what is expected to be and what actually is, or a situation or result showing such incongruity // a situation is often said to be ironic if the actions taken have an effect exactly opposite from what was intended.
Hypocrite is a person who PRETENDS something he/she is not, to put it in a simple, understandable way.
The word hypocrisy comes from the Greek and means "Jealous", "play-acting", "acting out", "coward" or "dissembling". Check the internet if you need to.
Hypocrisy: a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess. // a pretense of having some desirable or publicly approved attitude. // the practice of professing standards, beliefs, etc, contrary to one's real character or actual behaviour, esp the pretense of virtue and piety // is the state of pretending to have beliefs, opinions, virtues, ideals, thoughts, feelings, qualities, or standards that one does not actually have. Hypocrisy involves the deception of others and is thus a kind of lie. // a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion. // a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings.
Examples: Isn't a politician hypocritical for talking about human dignity while voting against reasonable social programs? // The parent who has a “do what I say and not what I do” attitude can appear hypocritical to a child.
I hope it is clear now. Damn, I just looked in Google for this, you should do that too.
>>> TL;DR
This situation is ironic, not "hypocritical". Get a dictionary and/or Google and learn to understand definitions.

Not quite, #78... that took me less than 5 minutes to write because most of it are copy+pasted definitions from internet. It's just a lot of text... and it's a fact that too much text scares people.

But the burning couch would add the smell of smoke, which is what the OP didn't want.

Fag smoke and burning smoke smell different anyway, burning smoke is a lot sweeter and doesn't turn the walls yellow

Lol, 'fag smoke'
In America, 90% of people wouldn't know those are cigarettes in the UK.
Still, I thought we were talking about homosexuals on fire for a second. :p

That's the type of things that I like doing on Saturdays.
I mean breaking into people's house, yelling at them for liting candles and then smashing their hazardous fire instrument on the most valuable furniture they possess.
Then again, Saturday isn't my faourite day.

Yours was accidental. Your boyfriend was going to intentionally make your house smell like shit.
