glass house effect

a.k.a. turned tables.
When your job gets reversed. When your shit gets all messed up just the way you messed up someone else's shit.

The concept comes from a fortune bubble gum wrapper that reads "Man who live in glass house should not throw stone."

This concept is often ignored when people do things for someone else.

Did you hear about what happened to Alice?
She's suffering from glass house effect.
She cast the first stone and just kept throwing, then one of 'em hit her glass house and, well, you can imagine.
I heard she did it herself.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

A phrase one can say meaning people should not criticize others for faults that they have themselves

Zach told me I had bad taste in music. I replied by telling him that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

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 House Syndrome

Glass House Syndrome explains the current state of cancel culture in society today. People point the finger at anyone with notoriety who they perceive has committed an unforgivable action, even though they themselves are usually more than guilty of the same thing in their own lives.

"That celebrity should be cancelled for being caught on camera saying mean things to their spouse in an argument" because of Glass House Syndrome!
