It's common for us arise some conflicts when we live under one root. Once my lecturer said we have to do our BCT diary, immediately I think about him, my downstairs neighbour. The incident was happened last few weeks ago:-
My roommates and I went back to hostel room after dinner, then he came up and kept wondering outside our door but we ignored him. After he observed us for a while, he started to speak out with anger: "Which one of you, poured the water outside the windows?Do you know that the water will spread into my room and my books were wet because of that!"
My roommates and I stared at each others, then one of my roommate said:"Sorry but we don't know about that, we just reach our room only, maybe this is done by upstairs' neighbours?"
He silent for a while then said:" Next time don't hang the wet clothes on the awning, because the water will dripping into my room! "
In spark I replied him back:" I saw you hang your clothes even your undergarments on the awning! Think about yourself before saying others! My dear!"
After that, my neighbour walked back to his room miserably.
See! Even when Im doing this assignment, he did like this...So, what is your feeling?What do you think about the 1st floor's resident? Haha...How come if the water of undergarment drip onto 1st floor room....
From above obviously we can observe that the neighbour tried to persuade us for not hang the wet clothes on awning but in contrast he did the same thing. This is considered as a fallacy which is Tu Quoque(Look who's talking). This fallacy committed when an arguer rejects another person's argument or claim because that person fails to preactice what he preaches.
In this case, he did the same mistake as we did, so why should we follow his advice?
The logical pattern of these arguments is this:
1. Neighbour fails to follow his own advice.
2.Therefore, neighbour's claim should be rejected.
