Question Fallacy Method of reasoning
Her barbecue ribs are so much better than your spaghetti and meatballs. False alternative and argument from ignorance

The person is considering between barbecue ribs, spaghetti and meatballs, while there are lots of alternatives available such as fried chicken, pasta which have not been considered (False alternative).

The statement is also trying to defend its claim that her barbecue ribs are better, though no efforts have been made to prove it or find evidence (argument from ignorance).

Birds are creatures just like people.  They need food and water. No fallacy has been committed. Birds have been told as creatures, like humans which is the true statement and in the next sentence, basic needs have been mentioned, which again is true. There are only factual information mentioned. So, there is no fallacy in the statement.
Students in the college are like customers in the store.  They are both paying for a product and are therefore always right. Questionable analogy The statement is assuming that since students and customer are similar in one aspect (paying for the service), they will be alike in other aspects too (being always right). They are not doubting or questioning, if there exists any difference.
I cannot believe the idiots who supposedly repaired by windshield.   The crack is still growing and moving across my windshield Ad hominem The statement is trying to bring attention to the person and his act, by addressing him as 'idiot' who did not repair the wind shield properly.
