Common Examples of Situational Irony
- The police station gets robbed. Again, the expectation is that professional crime fighters would be able to help themselves; in this case, by securing their own station.
- A post on Facebook complaining how useless Facebook is. This is ironic because one would expect someone who dislikes Facebook to stay away from it instead of using it to make their point.
- A traffic cop gets his license suspended because of unpaid parking tickets. Because the traffic cop is usually the one issuing tickets, most people would assume he always followed the rules.
- A pilot has a fear of heights. This situation is ironic because airplane pilots spend most of their time at work high in the air.
- A member of PETA wears leather shoes. Because PETA members work to protect animal rights, one would assume they would avoid products made form animal skins.
- The teacher fails the test. Teachers are usually the ones giving tests rather than taking them, so most people assume they would be expert at passing tests.
Ironically, these are all examples of hypocrisy0 -

Okay that’s probably not ironic. I have absolutely no idea what ironic really means. There’s always some punk nearby to tell me “that’s not ironic, that’s a coincidence”. DON’T TELL ME HOW I FEEL, TODD
i·ron·ic
adjective
using or characterized by irony.
It's ironic that your definition of ironic was entirely unhelpful
That's a coincidence!

I first learned I was wrong about irony when I learned that song had no ironic examples in it.
https://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/30/isnt-it-ironic-probably-not/Alanis Morissette’s song “Ironic” is equally useful. If it rains on your wedding day, that’s a coincidence, not an irony. If you win the lottery and drop dead before claiming the money, it’s good luck followed by bad luck. If you meet the man of your dreams and then meet his beautiful wife, it’s a bummer. But if a song called “Ironic” contains no irony, is that in itself ironic? Nope.1 -

Thats right it's the spam and abuse that don't work! @cee134 is it ironic if a mod that handles the reports, gets herself reported?0 -

Don’t ask him, he wouldn’t know irony if Alanis Morissette updated the song to include it

Apparently she’s been harassed by snooty grammar koonts for the past twenty years, so she updated the lyrics.

IC: That most things right now just scare the crap out of me. Feelings, ideas, change, people, not knowing, knowing, etc.
I'm afraid I'll always be this way and that people will always take advantage of my strengths but mostly just my weaknesses.3 -
