FALLACIES

Two ladies were talking to each other one afternoon. one lady said it is freezing outside but i want to wash my car. the other lady replied:

'yes. if you wash your car it rains. thus it will rain if you wash your car so better you don't or else we will freeze to death.'

from these statement we can see that the lady was using POST HOCK FALLACY. She thinks that if the event of washing a car precedes the event of rain then it means that the event of washing a car causes rain, which is not true. washing the car may not always be the cause of rainy weather
