    Not quite right. If you get upset that someone pickpocketed your phone when I know for a fact that you were just bragging last week about having shoplifted something from a store, I might say “That’s a pot calling the kettle black”, meaning “You are not recognizing that you are being hypocritical for calling out an action that you yourself are guilty of.”

    A better phrase to indicate a likeness would be “You are preaching to the choir.” However, I don’t know an expression which would encapsulate the sentiment you were attempting to project.
