Here's POST HOC A logical fallacy - post hoc occurs when one observes a behavior/event (A) that precedes another behavior/event (B) and concludes that behavior/event A must be the cause of behavior/event B. Some examples are: My tulips come up every Spring, therefore, my tulips cause Spring to occur. Everyday, I show up just as the school bell rings, therefore my arrival at school causes the school bell to ring. Every time I log online to play interactive games, I get stupid partners, therefore my logging online causes stupid people to join the games I want to play. Every time I watch the L.A. Clippers play a basketball game, they lose, therefore my watching Clippers games causes them to lose. Every time my wife steps into the shower she gets a phone call, therefore, my wife's bathing causes people to call her.
