but that would have been hypocritical
Talking of which, two similar words but with different meanings are hypocritical as correctly used above, and hypercritical which means something rather different.

My housemaster at school accused me, on my school report, of being hypocritical, which I am not, and I resented the comment and told him so. He meant hypercritical, which I am and readily admit to.
