Ironic Situations
An ironic situation would be if you were in a situation that would not be expected. If you were in an ironic situation it would normally be the situation that had a very good idea of what was going on because it would have effected you maybe that way at some time. Example of this is that you are at a party of a really good cook and they make a recipe and it is the same as yours, but neither of you know each other. It would be ironic that both of you would bring the same thing, and really ironic that it would be the same recipe.

I know what irony means, I have all the different ... but such ironic situations are rare. Note that it was not the two accidents coming so close together that made the situation ironic. It was the fact that the lady could be thought to be drunk, and often was, but not this time.

Someone constantly saying everything is ironic when its not. Like the alanis song, she says all those things about irony, calls her song ironic, and the only thing ironic about it, is that not one thing she mentions is actually ironic!!

I found some really ironic situations, for instance, the Steve Irwin incident was considered irony. He worked to protect animals his entire life, and died by a sting ray. And also a PETA2 worker eating a hamburger, then getting attacked by pigs.

Misuse of the word irony/ironic; ... events and situations (or the like) that go in the same direction. Notice there is nothing going in opposite directions. There is a parallel involved, not repulsion. Try to picture "similarity with a twist" or "equivalence reciprocated" (if that helps).
