Irony
From Encyclopedia Of Stupid
Irony is stupid.
If Encyclopedia Of Stupid (with a capital O) had a prize for the stupidest thing in the world, irony would definitely be in the running. Irony is what happens when life plays a game on you, wins the game, then points at you with her dirty middle finger and starts laughing hysterically. You feel oppressed, unfairly treated, left-behind and forgotten, but in reality it is all your fault for being such a pathetic asshole.
Irony is like a sign from God that whatever you just missed, you missed for a reason. In a way, it is genuinely funny. If you had a sense of humor you might actually be able to laugh at it - but of course you don't, because you are too busy obsessing over whether or not your hipster sensibility should now dictate that Apple is no longer cool.
Examples of Irony
The following examples are often cited as ironic, but they are in fact simply unfortunate:
- Winning the lottery, dying the following day
- A black fly in your Chardonnay.
- A death row pardon - two minutes too late.
- Rain on your wedding day .
- A free ride, when you've already paid.
- Flying for the first time in your life and your plane crashes.
- A traffic jam when you're already late.
- Meeting the man of your dreams, and then meeting his beautiful wife.
