    Earlier tonight I went to fold in the wing mirrors on the car for protection on the street, only for one of them to break off in my hand.

    It's an unwritten rule that if someone mentions irony, someone else will quote an Alanis Morrisette song & someone else will quote from an Ed Byrne routine.

    isn't' it ironic? :D

    A duck took flight from the pond during lunch yesterday on a low trajectory.

    I had to shout 'Duck!!!!'

    I always wanted to get some spraypaint and spray on the wall 'I hate graffiti and hypocrites.'

    One day on my way to work as an air control operator I was struck by a low flying 747 and killed to death.

    I saw yer man from the Bee Gees on 'Live with Jools Holland' earlier this evening.

    Which is ironic, seeing as he's dead.

    Was he singing Staying Alive ?

    Saw a small van with a missing bumper on it and the van was a company van for car parts saying how they have all your part needs.

    A woman driving while on a mobile phone cutting in dangerously in front of me, while displaying a huge BABY ON BOARD sign.

    Just had an ironic moment.

    I was just texting my friend telling him he should be ashamed at his drawings on DrawSomething. They are appaling. He takes no time whatsoever and his lack of effort is obvious.

    "Take some pride in your work" I texted.

    This is all being done while I am on the crapper for a solid 35 mins during work ! :D

    This is the gardai ringing in relation to your court summons for driving while on a mobile phone.
    friend hangs up.

    On Ian Dempsey's programme one morning, they were listeners for examples of irony, to which one caller said 'a minister for health who is morbidly obese'. There was an awkward silence after that! This was when the previoius government was in power.

    When I was being pursued from a man his first message to me was:

    Respect

    Just the word respect.

    Ironic because he had absolutely none for me. He got his hole filled and fcuked me over filling me with lies leaving me in a loop.

    A very years ago Eamon Dunphy won some stupid award for being the Dublin party goer of the year.
    And then he didn´t turn up for the award´s party.
    I use this when defining irony.

    Did something simular with my insurance company. I was sitting in the car ready to go somewhere when they rang. They were on the phone for 5 minutes just to ask me to forward proof of NCB. Without thinking I said, "Yea, I'll send that to you tommorrow, sorry but I have to go, I'm coming up to a roundabout."

    (I wasn't really driving)

    Watching France England in Euro 2004 in Bakers Corner, some gorilla was screaming vile abuse at every English player for 90 solid minutes, when Zidane knocked in the last minute winner the gorilla went absolutely ape :D with joy, as I said to my mates, does anybody want to go over to the England hater and point out the irony of him wearing a Chelsea shirt.

    I read somewhere that it was from a sketchshow and a few journos saw the image and thought it was serious. The article I read had a link to the image posted before that match.

    Come on, you can't just say you know that lad then leave it at that!
    Was it a joke or did he genuinely not know?

    tonnes of people seem to think if they use words like respect , that means they deserve a large chunk of it

    i once worked with a ghoul who used to specialise in accusing people she didnt agree with of being arrogant , that was her word , irony wasnt her strong point
