The others are not far behind on my list, but Xander really ticked me off. Just a few days before, he had given his "trust her, she deserves it" speech, then he sits and watches as Buffy is berated and betrayed because she made a decision that resulted in people getting hurt and dying. To me, that just added to the "Epitome of Hypocritical: The Xander Harris Story."
In the seven seasons of the show he: tried to rape Buffy while possessed by a hyena, then lied about not remembering it, dated demons and ex-demons, indirectly caused the deaths of many people by summoning Sweet, and a whole lot more. All while maintaining his "Scooby" status. He was never called out about ANY of those things, except for the "dating demons thing" by Willow in Something Blue and Dawn in Lessons. He was quickly forgiven for anything he did or just not called out on it at all, and yet he always had something to say about the choices that Buffy was making and how disgusted he was by Spike. By the end of the series, I wanted to smack Xander for his hypocrisy and being a fare-weather friend to Buffy; and I wanted to smack everyone else for not calling him on it.
The moral of my rant: Xander needed to butt out of Buffy's life when what she did was none of his business, and stand up for her when she needed somebody. If he was supporting her before the battle at the vineyard, he should have supported her after. No matter what the outcome was.
Something to that extent could also be said for the rest of the Scoobies, but this rant was exclusively reserved for Xander.
