Is this irony?

I had to get a travel pass today in a town about 25mins away so I had to get someone to bring me there. Would it be correct to say that the above is ironic? Thanks.

Yes, a fairly mild example of irony.

Other examples would include:
Rain on your wedding day.
A free ride when you've already paid.
The good advice that you just didn't take.
Winning the lottery and dying the next day.
Ten thousand spoons and all you need is a knife.
Traffic jams when you're already late.
Meeting the man of your dreams and then his beautiful wife.
