Ironic Situations???

Must be a good surf beach if the waves break so erratic. Maybe you should come over here and try our beach breaks like Jan Juc or 13th. They have rips that make channels which means the waves start breaking in the same area. I don't like the sound of the random wave breaking you guys get, makes it more a lottery to catch a wave, hey sweetie.

what-ever you reckon lubber

Everyone thinks irony means any kind of amusing coincidence.
It actually means an outcome that is the opposite of what you'd expect.

So, if a pr0n star moved to Virgin, Utah, that would be ironic. If the same pr0n star bought a house in Boner Knob, Montana that would not be ironic.

The word has been abused to the point that it can mean anything.
"She always said she wanted to marry a dentist! And then she married Bob, who is a dentist! Isn't that ironic?"
"I went on my cigarette break, but there was a No Smoking sign! Isn't that ironic?"
"I just pooped in your aquarium! Isn't that ironic?"

FFS people, get it right.

A richmond fan knows something. Ironic.

 

[scooterb]

I agree.

People often mistake hypocrisy and coincidences as irony.

There's really not too many situations when you can actually say; "how ironic".

It's rather ironic that you think it is that simple

Once I was helping build a work bench. It's very hard to build a work bench if you don't already have one to work on.

the tv advertisements give me the shits, they always portray the man as a dumb arse (see - Foxtel ad, with bloke pulling out the distributer of the family car)......**** me, the last time I checked when everything turns to shite the blokes / men are called upon to repair the situation.

another ad is the yellow pages ad, 'Robbins Vetinary Clinic' firstly the painter stuffs up, then the sparky says "it's all gotta be replaced", then the pest control bloke sprays the wasp nest, then they collectively call the 'three wheeler' to check the dog.

I mean it's ironic in current times to discrimate against blokes, yet if we did a similar advert drawing parallels that women are dumb arses, their would be a massive out cry...

^Women only want equality when its convenient for them

Fact.

true PK don't get me wrong I am all for opening doors etc but isn't it meant to be a 2-way street nowadays...hell I even put the dunny seat down FFS (it is also a handy way to pick-up if your misses is playing around )

Would teaching Science/Evolution in the Catholic school system (or any religious school system) be irony or hypocrisy ?

How often would you go out leaving your entire house open to a dumbass painter/electrician/etc?

Just shoot the dog and the whole problem is solved.

I would call it irony, as the Mick's recognise 4 different types of evolution to reach homosapian but still believe in immaculate conception???

though you could argue both ways

you should be in advertising

Soooo fat bogan chick yelling at someone who parked in a driveway, even though said bogan had parked in a disabled park without being disabled...ironic or not?

What I find ironic is that somebody illegally parked in the disabled bay before the fat bogan chick and that is why the fat mole was yelling to start with

I don't think that's ironic.

To be fair, i used to drink Diet Coke over normal coke because i thought normal coke had too much sugar in it, and so i could only drink it had it been mixed with something.

But that changed when Coke Zero came out.

 

[Macca19]

this thread is for those of us that see something and think WTF

I was at chicken treat today and this fat woman woddles in, orders a 1/2 chicken & chips and grabs a diet coke?

what, the diet coke is part of your new weight loss plan?

Why is it that fat people tend to drink diet drinks?

To be serious for a minute, its probably due to diabeties as opposed to any 'justification'.

Also as a general rule, I find girls of all shapes and sizes drink diet drinks over normal.

How is that ironic?

it's ironic because Alanis Morissette doesn't know what irony is

 

[YOTC]

Actually it's ironic that a song about irony does include ironic situations at all.

I think she knew what she was doing.

I think you're giving her way too much credit for something she probably did by accident.
