Appeal to Popularity
The fallacy that I remember the most is the appeal to popularity. This is used all day, everyday by everyone. Now a days, it's all about being the popular one, and doing whatever you have to do to be popular. I would say that it is one of the most often used fallacy. If an action you take increases your popularity, there is a great chance that you will do the action. In high school, this is very true. Once you get to college, it mellows down a little bit but it's still there. Life is all one big competition of popularity.
