Situational irony defined in 10 of life’s most unexpectedly expected guarantees…

1) On the very same day you bring in pictures and other accoutrement to spruce up your desk at work, you will lose your job.

2) On the very same day that you have a long-awaited appointment at the hair salon, you will wake up to the very best hair day of your life.

3) On the very same day that you finally decide to surprise your husband with a fantastic home cooked dinner, your husband finally decides to surprise you by bringing home dinner.

4) On the very same day that you opt to wear your winter-white silk designer blouse that has been sitting in your closet for what seems like ages, your child’s breakfast will disagree with him or her, all over your well-meaning shoulder.

5) On the very same day that you forgo the nursing bra pads for a quick run to the grocery store for milk, you will run into your ex, and promptly spring a leak.

6) On the very same day that you have a special occasion of someone very close to you that you absolutely must attend, you will have a special occasion of someone else who is very close to you that you absolutely must attend.

7) On the very same day that you begin your diet, you will discover that Ben and Jerry’s is giving away free ice cream cones.

8) On the very same day that you switch purses and resolve not to transfer the dental floss into your new bag, you will some how, some way, eat corn on the cob and spend the rest of the day miserably uncomfortable.

9) On the very same day that you splurge on a manicure, your mother will drop off 2Lbs of shrimp that need to be cleaned and peeled for dinner. (This might only apply to Italians)

10) On the very same day that you finally get to the post office to mail that package that has been sitting on your dining room table for 3 weeks, you return home to find this on your door:
