    In the episode of Friends where the friends go to London for Ross and Emily’s wedding, Chandler says, "I'm so glad we're having this rehearsal dinner. You know, I so rarely get to practice my meals before I eat them."

    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 hypocrisy

    It’s ironic that though this is a fitness site, it has a way of making me feel terrible about myself

    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.
    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.

    I was going to ask how could you get banned when we can't report your posts, but it seems as though I can do that now. Please disregard that report....

    Ok. I've lost motivation to work out and eat properly the past couple weeks. Need to find that motivation again. I think I'm just feeling old.

    haha, I thought you were joking, guess I should be a better mod keeping up with the reports

    also, I think you could always report us, or at least since I have been a mod (so a little over a year) its just the spam and abuse flags that don't work on us.

    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?

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

    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.
