I hope we can all agree that someone saying that is WRONG to do so, I'm not sure hypocrite is the right word. Someone may ardantly believe that their own experience is "the" experience and thus if someone differs in opinion that they are simply being argumentative and obtuse.
I tried it, I concluded this, thus you should conclude that too.
I'm so not saying that it's RIGHT to say that given the circumstances, I'm just saying Hypocrite is possibly not the right word. And if this were to come up, saying "you hypocrite" isn't going to get you anywhere as the person will say "I'm not being a hypocrite" because, well.. by the book they're not.
Presumptive? Egocentric? Those seem better fits.
