Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

Remember that Alanis Morissette song from 1995 where she lists a whole bunch of ironies that are really just unfortunate coincidences? Here are a few to ponder:

• You are walking down a steep staircase on slippery shoes. You start to slip, catch your balance and think "Man, I'd better walk more carefully or I'm going to fall." Then five steps later, you slip and fall down the rest of the stairs.
  
• You buy a new bike with clipless pedals, and you're really psyched up to ride it for the first time. You've heard how easy it is to fall over when starting to use clipless pedals, so you're really concentrating on how you're NOT going to fall on your first bike ride. Then, carrying your bike down your stairs, you slip and fall, hurt yourself, and never end up riding the bike at all.
• You spend a year training for your first triathlon, then injure yourself exactly two weeks before the race.

No, it didn't happen to me, it just happened to a good friend of mine.

A little too ironic. Yeah, I really do think.
