What happen was that I want to be friend with one people but she was ex-girlfriend of my friend so i thought that she doesn't like me. Actually when i met her, she ignored me even thought we knew that each other before. However a few days later i got a chance to meet her in the pub because one of my friend called me to come to the pub and when i got there, the girl who i want to know was there! In fact, she also wanted to be friend with me so she requested my friend to call me. she also thought that i hated her because she broke up with my friend not as a good way. she didn't ignore me she thought that i ignore her so she wanted to avoid from me. we misunderstood each other! it was my experience of ironic

It was happened when I was a schoolgirl.One day my parents told me that they had to go to other city on business,tomorrow morning I must went to school by myself.And my mother suggest that I can went to school by taxi.But tomorrow morning my alarm clock didn't go off,I was oversleep.It's so horrible to a schoolgirl.As soon as I can washed my face and combed my hair ,I rushed out of my home and took a taxi.When we arrived school I found I didn't take any money.That time I was in deeply helpless.Fortunately the cabby is so kind and let me take this free trip.How dramatic this morning was !!!!!! So it was my experience of ironic

It happened when I was in my high school life.One day morning I was so happy to go to school beacause before that day was a weekend,My friend with me went to the mall to choose some beautiful clothes for me.I still remembered that I bought a suit with a T-shirt and a vest coat.So the next day I was very happy and proud to wear my new clothes,waiting for classmates' praise.But unexpectedly everyone no matter in the campus or in the classroom stared at me strangely,some people even laugtde at me when they were after my side .I was doubting what had happened,my friend came to me telling me that I was against the clothes wear!That time I was too exbarrassed to talk with them,hurried to some place hidden to change my wear.

I couldn't wait to go to his house more one hour than our appointment.When i got to his house,i fond there is nobody there. So i kidded the door of the house,and a women opened the door with smile. I said'hello' and got into the house. The women asked me 'who are you' with surpries. I reponded politly 'i am your son's friend'. The women didn't answer me any more but lead me to sit down at sitting room.I just wacthed TV for the day in the friend's house but i didn't meet the friend.When i meet the friend in the tomrrow i just kenw the women is his neighbor,and she had been a alone women who hadn't son.

That is a very interesting story. I think it would make a good work of fiction. It is almost like a mixture of Poe and O. Henry.

When I watched the news, I came up with ironical situation.
That is North korean systems. North advocates the socialism which everyone has an opportunity to benefit from the government. But I think they cling to the wrong socialist systems. North korean are exposed to danger. They starve to death and take away their freedom. This is a sad and sorry situation. It's really ironic.

Myunghwan, Kang 1050654

3/24/2012 04:41:19 pm

Yeah! It real one of tragic drama. Wish to unification of North and South as soon as possible. In ma opinion, They who have handled North Korea covered all bad situations for keeping absolute power. It's most dangerous problem. We have to know wat's the a monarchial system!! Between socialism and monarchism, it's too different totally. however North Korea looks like a monarchism within monarchy and aristocracy.

My case, had beaten the test with a friend.
The day the results were announced.
I had to felt well on the tests.
I saw the result of a friend, was rejected.
I made fun of being a failing score on the exam.
But I was rejected.
This situation is true, is not it ironic

Joe Teacher

3/24/2012 08:29:59 am

I think it is ironic because you made fun of him for failing and then you failed too. Yes.

Sunho Ki 0800891

3/24/2012 01:06:10 pm

Yes, by his friend's situation and the situation looks
The irony does not know it because there's been joked Made it

Seonhu Park 0801174

3/23/2012 01:45:22 am

When I think about the irony, I came across a story about my senior.
I have an good senior. I have known him since I was in high school .
He was my senior by two years at Dong-a university.
He graduated from Dong-a university in february 2011.
But, He did not find a job until his graduation.
He wanted to take a job with an insurance company.
He finally got the job that he wanted.
After about three months, he discovered that he didn't like a job.
So, he quit the company and seek for another job.

Mun-Ae Lee 1050846

3/24/2012 12:07:17 am

That's too bad for your senior. That situation also happened to one of my friends. He wanted to transfer working base to other city. Finally he moved to Pusan but he is missing the previous city now.

I am a little man compared with people my own age. This situation really began. I usually use bus. Three years ago, I was going to visit family by bus. The bus costs 900won per adult and children’s discounts are available. I am a university student. Therefor, I had to pay 900won. I paid my payment and waited for the change. However, bus driver said, loudly. Need you have paid so much? You are a child. Ironically, I lost my age, and became a child overnight. In fact, I am very small. So, I laughed away his words. It was one of life’s little ironies. Of course, I am a simple university student who wants to live a simple life. Even though I am a small, my action is open and aboveboard.

Joe Teacher

3/24/2012 08:33:55 am

This story is what Shakespeare called a "tragicomedy." It is a little funny and a little sad. Don't worry, little man, you have a big heart.

When i began to use the talk software,i felt it's very interesting.Use fake name,fake identity,talk anything and even lie sth.I remember once i wanted to play with a friend and i lied a lot and i succeeded.Then i never use the number and she doesnt know the truth.but just a few months after that ,i was be cheated by a stranger.I thought he might be a good friend,then i noticed that most things he talked were fake.It's a really interesting return!

Joe Teacher

The Buddhist philosophers call this 'karma.'

li qian 0966075

3/25/2012 09:26:03 pm

ok.then next experience. When i was a middle school student ,i must learn politics.At that time i learned it carefully and hardly because i did some work for the politics teacher.But after i went to the University,i received more information and i noticed that most of the politic things i learned before are wrong.Some things are totally wrong.It's funny.

Mun-Ae Lee 1050846

Several times I experienced ironic situations during working in my office. I dislike some my seniors due to their rude attitude and rough behaviours. If possible, I try not to talk with them, however, I often got help from them when I was in danger. I should've rejected thier hands because I don't like them. But I got their help and this situation made me like them for a moment. I think it's a kind of irony.

Joe Teacher

3/24/2012 08:35:49 am

It is ironic that you asked them after they were so unkind. Sometimes it is good to give people a second chance.

Seonhu Park 0801174

3/24/2012 07:58:05 pm

I think that if you continue to work, you should try to get intimately acquainted with they.

eunnara Kim 0903828

3/26/2012 04:26:01 pm

uhm..In fact, I had had a similar experience. In my cass finally I kept fair with friend. My opinion is same with Seonhu Park. If you dont`t try to narrow the gap, the situation gets worse..

Your office next to my office.
I know your seniors.
Maybe I read your situation that is ironic.
I don't say to your seniors your reply.
I think just do your best.

This story of my experience lately.
On the weekend with his girlfriend had been dating.
It has been nearly two weeks since I saw you last.
'To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness in this world.'
kkkk ^_^

I said "Let's go for a drive after the movie"
My girl friend said " That' ok"
Just as I was watching the moive, it occurred to me that I had forgotten my homework.
I talk loudly "Oh~~ no,, I'm pretty busy doing my homework"
My girlfriend said " Your voice is too loud, please be quiet!!!! I have lots of homework too. But The more the happiness. Because it will also help your future.!!! I wish you happiness....!!!! ^^ "
This situation............
I don't think that the more homework... can happiness.
I can't understand her to save my soul.
I think that it is irony to say of my girlfriend...
It gives me a headache to think of the homework......ㅜㅜ

Tae-Ho Lee 0701666

All of people want to get nice body, even me also wanted to make nice body through a diet. In my case, I did skip to dinner with do exercise. however I couldn't lose the weight. when I checked it, it has shown to average of weight all the time. In this reason, I gave up on a diet. I made a pig of my self within various foods. When i checked to my weight on the next morning, the marvel was that i had gotten to lose my weight. It should be irony situation.

Yongyeon Jo 1050874

3/24/2012 06:59:27 pm

Oh, I'm envious of you. I always decide to skip dinner but i can't reject to have dinner. I wish i could wear bikini this summer!!!

Se-Chan Kwon 1103563

3/24/2012 10:02:14 pm

I think you can go on a diet whenever you have mind in this way.

Jihye Kim(1103795)

3/24/2012 10:54:26 pm

you can do it ! kk. But you should eat dinner. Otherwise, you may eat late snack... You eat three meals a day Small amount.

eunnara Kim 0903828

3/26/2012 04:55:17 pm

I really really agree with you. last summer I tried to deit because I want nice body.. But I abjured diet and gormandize.. next morning took sb's weight. but weight was same as yesterday!! In your case, I think that you get a lucky break!!

Jeong-Min Park 0904056

3/24/2012 05:07:15 pm

I write about what happened today. I bought my new clothes at Haeundae department store with my friends. And than we drank too much. When i arrived my home at 5:00 a.m. Nobody perceived me entering the my room and then i just slept immediately. I thought my family don't know when i came for home. When I got up at 4:00 p.m. Nobody did not wake up for me. It was very strange. When i got out from the my room and looking for around another rooms. There was no one there. Because they didn't come home yesterday night and while i'm writing this homework. (I think it is not ironic...)

Joo jae seung 0504003

3/25/2012 01:03:20 am

maybe i was find(make?) some ironics. first, in The Bible "Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you." but between families or close friend, this rule(?) was broken. ironic closed relationship. more closed more rudely actions, speaks. se....cond.....oh~bed called me and my bed looks yo softly. I'm sorry~have a good day

Yong Gwan Joo 0904741

3/28/2012 12:50:59 am

Yeah~ We drank too much..
But why are you drink today? You promise that reduce the drink.
Dear my friend, I like to drink with you. But we need to loose weight. So we need to reduce the drink time. OK???

0904683 Jin-Pyeong Jung

3/24/2012 06:26:07 pm

Hmm.. In my case.
When I was high school senior, I attended the commencement. There were many people who is celebrating his friends, hers daughter and someone's student.
My friends of the same class were all pleased the event. We took a picture, exchanged a letter and had a chat each other. They were well dressed, put their's face on and in fits of laughter. I also enjoyed that situation. But, I'm not happy, though I am laughing.
Because I failed to enter the University. There are no sympathy with me. I'm just well poorly dressed and felt all alone in there.

Is that Irony situation, right!?

Jeong-Min Park 0904056

3/24/2012 06:54:43 pm

Oh, cheere up man! Now you're Dong-A univercity student!

Yong Gwan Joo 0904741

Se-Chan Kwon 1103563

3/24/2012 09:57:16 pm

In my case.. I'm going to write about my ordinary life.
I thought about my ordinary and irony life.

For my 22 years life, so to speak

Sleep as much as I want, and wake up forcibly..
and spend all day long in a same way and a same mind with yesterday. Extremely hate to be inferior to others, but I usually turn my face away from my life.
The moment only I become enthusiastic, is to be on a computer online world or to look other beautiful girls for feasting my eyes.
I thought about why I am spending my precious days of life away with these unintersting and disgraced mind.
The answer is,,, that everyday, everytime, everywhere I accepted my life as an imitation. I pretended to think that my life is not true.
So, even if I become 20's or 30's, I always hallucinate of me that my real life is not coming, and whenever I want, I have my abilities to change my life. Not yet, not using the real " I " , me, so I'm spending my days in this way.

This is what I really think about everyday.

How about this?? Isn't it the real irony?

Jihye Kim(1103795)

3/24/2012 10:46:06 pm

I often think like you. Maybe I see me now want to turn away. I think, my life is unsatisfactory. So, I want to change, but not much effort.. this think is irony..kkkk..

Jeong-Min Park 0904056

3/26/2012 06:06:46 pm

Oh my god! I feel that, too. Next we goona get some beers!

Jihye Kim

3/24/2012 10:26:55 pm

In my case, At first I thought this is not good when i saw her of first impression. I don't want to get to know her. So i have a sense of distance. And I think. Do not like each other. However, since suddenly I have a good relationship with her.(True heart to tell each other, but not between.) Then I should think. Why do I have a good relationship with her?...;; This situation is irony!

0904683 Jin-Pyeong Jung

3/27/2012 12:51:48 pm

Oh.. Not everything you see is truth. I know the expression 'Don't judge a book by its cover.' I think that people are usually kind of everybody~

Joo JaeSeung 0504003

3/24/2012 11:41:28 pm

one of best thing about ironic. half humanity shared by 'this' sometimes a few words more powerful than description all.
"Women's WORD" I'll not more added word.

eunnara Kim 0903828

3/24/2012 11:51:46 pm

It happend during the last semester. I worked part time near the school. It was busy on that particular day. And I forgot my quitting time. I hustled over to school. Because that day was my major class. I rushed for busstation. But The bus is slow in coming. So I grabed a taxi. " Can you speed up a little, driver? " I said. ㅜ.ㅜ
And I arrived in school quikily, then I was sprinting to the calss.
But.............The class was cancelled..............I was irritated that time. But now I think that happend for me. It was both funny and shocking. Was it irony situation???? Ha Ha Ha..........

Yoonseok Jo 0801799

3/25/2012 02:45:43 pm

Oh, That’s sad experience. I really sympathize with you. I used to have some same problem. In my case, It was a national holiday. There was no one in the school. It was the most awful experience.

Moo Jin Kwon 1103551

3/26/2012 03:15:46 am

Hi ;D
Although some differences exist, your story is the same situation that I experienced yesterday. after job, I really hustled over to school. But the class was cancelled... It was so horrible.
I know your mind up to a point

Jeong-Min Park 0904056

3/26/2012 06:10:32 pm

Wow, you're very poor girl. Friends didn't talked about cancelled? Next time, ask first you're friends.

eunnara Kim 0903828

3/28/2012 05:23:49 pm

Hi jeong min ~ Yes!! It upset me that nobody had bothered to tell me about it. Also you Jeng min ^^

I'm a technical sergent in the airforce
When I attaneded a class last monday, my left eye itched and
turned red.
Next day, I went to hospital in my base and doctor said
"It's eye infection. You take a rest about this week and stay at home".
I took sick leave, My office' superior warried and envied me.
But I did't want to take a rest because my task would be delay.
So I was uncomfortable last week and sorry for my office.
My left eye was recovered. I decided to work hard as stay at home and
went to my office this monday. But my decision was broken.
The eye infection moved to my right eye in this tuesday.
So I received a vacation one more time. I was at a total loss for words.
My office supervisor has no word, I think maybe he got angry.
But my mind became to more and more 'whatever will be',
finally I want to take a break for a month.
I don't like go to work tomorrow. I want over sleep!

eunnara Kim 0903828

3/26/2012 04:41:58 pm

Some days ago, I went to a singer`s concert that I liked in my school days! I rushed out of home and runned to a bus stop. But when I waited for a fraffic light, I missed a bus.. While I waited for signal light, Bus was passed out of mi sight. The signal was red. Few minutes later, Signal sign was red to green. I run at full speed to bus stop. I hope to going fast to concert hall. Then I take ride on a bus. I think, that bus will be arrived at stadium on time. But That is wrong estimate! Several buses stood in the way ahead. That was terrible situation. I think that I will be arrived at a place 30minutes ahead of time. However I had no idea it was so late! That day I was so angry and embarassed. I missed the bus and I had a wrong judgement. So I was terrible viewer who had no any ballon..any cheering balloon.

Last early semester, I had to submit a tuition payment certificate to my job place. But I had forgottem the paper which I have to print.
That day was ust deadline date. therfore I went out to print the certificate and take it my office. But I didn't say anything about that but other reasons such as going to doctor and so on. Finally I went out at noon and I was oblidged to leave a mountain of work.
And what happened? Deadline date was nextday and I counldn't go to school in time because the work left in my desk..
If I have known the date, I didnn't experience this Ironic situation

song han byul 1104089

3/26/2012 01:11:29 pm

oh.. :( that would be sucks!!
I have similar experience like you! Next time,i guess we both should look carefully about the date!!

Jeong-Min Park 0904056

This week, I experieced your case. That was very very annoying
I think we live in occurrence of ironic.

1104089 송한별 (song han byul)

3/26/2012 01:09:26 pm

I think i experienced ironic situation once in my life.
To be honest with you , i don't have a religion until now.
But oneday my best friend invited me Church choir concert and I went there. The choir was magnificent and i really loved it
And i went to the after party with my friend (maybe because i was her best friend) . And i saw the head minister of that church drinking!
I don't really know about the church rule though. As long as I know ministers are not suppose to drink! isn't it?
But that wasn't over ... after about hour he was drunk and told us about church rules and bibles and his obligation!!
I think that's absolutely ironic situation.
The minister is drinking alcohol and talking about his duty and rules at the sametime?? really??
But don't misunderstand me i have no offense about other ministers or churches!!

Taehoon Kim 0506363

3/26/2012 10:51:23 pm

yes. It was Ironic. I think they don't have some rule which stop drinking but they have some rule to control themselves. if the minister was drunken, it could be Ironic. he doesn't have responsibility of his faith.

Chul Min Kwon 1103586

The irony in my life things....

A couple of weeks, when the fall rain to wash a car.
2 weeks ago....It was a clear forecast weather.
So.....I washed the car.................it was raining too......ㅠㅜ
What is the reason??!!!!!!

Yong Gwan Joo 0904741

3/28/2012 12:28:49 am

Almost peaple,have a car, experienced in your sitiuation.
Also I have a car. So I don't often wash my car.^^;;;
It is rainy day that is my car wash time. I use the rain.
(My car is a little bit? dirty.) Is it ironic answer?
But I understand hou much you love your car.
If you continue to wash your car, you will drive your car long time.
