Things that are ironic.......
I find it ironic that someone with a "Practice Random Acts of Kindness" bumper sticker would cut me off in traffic and flip me off.
For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.
Winston Churchill

I'm not at all surprised considering the people I normally see with stickers like that.

I find it ironic that in a lot of cases around here, I don't know if the person behind the wheel of the shiny Cadillac is a gangsta wannabe or an 80-year-old bluehair.

Maybe they had to practice some random acts of meanness just to balance out the random acts of kindness.... Originally Posted by keith720

I find it ironic that I tend to arrest people on drug charges that have DARE paraphernalia somewhere around there house, or one time was actually wearing a DARE t-shirt.

How ironic is it that everytime I get asked to make extra patrols in an area for speeders that I always pull over the one that requested it? I always give them their speeding ticket also

Whatever someone is complaining about the loudest is usually what they're guilty of, doubly so for politicians.
Hmm, I seem to complain about politicians a lot, maybe I secretly want to be one. *shudder* Ok, now I feel dirty.

I find it ironic that when we have problems with our network or state email system- a system administrator will send an email to everyone saying the network or email system is down (which we don't get until after email is restored).

Oh man. We have to submit work orders via a supervisor to IT for any computer related issues. My MDT was not getting a signal. After submitting the work order I asked the same supervisor about when I could run to the office to get it handled. He asked me if I got his email about that. I asked if I could log on using his MDT since mine wasn't getting a signal, and I could not check email. He was a good sport about it. Originally Posted by ms1600
