That's pretty good.

It sounds like you and she might have had something going on before she quit.

Unless it was like in the movies where the man and the woman start out fighting before they give into their true feelings.

I am sorry but I have no idea what that means.

Okay, this is 100% real and I think it will be hard to top.

I was living with a relative in their house for a while, paying a decent monthly sum for the guest bedroom and use of the kitchen, living room, etc.

After a while the relative learned through local rental listings he could be getting more money by renting out my room.

So he kicked me out on short notice (barely 2 weeks) and brought in a 20-something guy, ironically from the same area I'm originally from.

Not cool to kick out a blood relative on short notice just to make more money, right?

Well, about a month later the relative noticed the renter hadn't left his room in about a week and it was smelling kinda funky. So he finally opened the guest room door, and what did he find?

The renter dude was long dead, drug overdose.

My relative was so traumatized, he hasn't stayed in the house since.

If that ain't irony, I don't know what is.

Greed is never a good thing.

OMG

Ironic Carma

Your story is kinda like something out of the movie Pulp Fiction.

I think you win on shock value alone.

I can't top Pokeno's story on shock value, but I do have a story that is just... strange... I guess everybody has had an experience where you meet someone who looks familiar and talks to you as if you know him/her, but you just don't remember where you know that person from... Okay, here we go... Two years ago, I was travelling through Peru. I was going from Lima to Cuzco and once I was there, I went looking for a school to refresh my Spanish and I found one that was run by a fellow Dutchman who was wearing glasses. (This becomes important later on.) So I signed up, went back to my hotel and decided to go look for another hotel closer to the school. I took a taxi, but we couldn't find the hotel I was looking for, so I decided to get out of the taxi. Going through my backpack, I noticed that I lost my wallet. So there I was, standing on a street in Cuzco, going through my backpack and on the other side of the street, there was a man walking who talked to me in Dutch, saying, hi, how you're doing? I thought it was the man from the school who was on a break and had taken off his glasses, so I explained the situation and said, I'll be okay, and he kept walking. I finally found both a hotel and my wallet back and went back to the school and told the Dutch owner this story. He said that he had been there all day and couldn't see a thing without his glasses. So that man on the street wasn't him. But then who was it??? I had been in Cuzco only for a few days and didn't know anybody, let alone any Dutch people. I never saw that man again. Who was he???

.

That story is more Twilight Zone than Ironic. Maybe they were evil twins.

How did you get your wallet back? Did you have it somewhere in your backpack?

Yes I can!

Hillary Clinton is taking a couple days off to recuperate from pneumonia. President Obama is out on the trail, campaigning for Hillary Clinton. This infuriates the right wing, who want to know why President Obama isn't in Washington, "doing his job".

So the same people that have complained for almost 8 years about the job President Obama has done are now complaining that he's not doing that job.

I win!

It is supposed to be one of your own personal stories.

Man....I thought my irony was turning into my Dad!

You guys have got paid to that!!!!!

Bailing out my Lawyer!!! - some dysfunctional shit right there!!!!

NorthC - maybe a twlight thread....I have a weird one on that... freaks me out to this very day!!!

No problem…we share irony/twighlight…It’s a looooong one!

So…

In another life I was a DJ… from b-boy break…to Chicago/detroit house….to rave (dove pills)….to HipHop... to breakbeat…to trance….to big house etc…

All underlined by a LOVE for the reason why we are all on this forum…. OUR Man…

So I used to have a picture on my bedroom wall…of Batman (Keaton) cut out from “The Times” Newspaper….

And a 12” of Ice Cube “Good Day” in my collection…

I left home went to uni and took my pictures with me…keepsake if you will…

So….I moved around alot… and my copy of Ice went missing…

About 10yrs later…I went on this website to replenish my copy of Ice-Cube “Good Day”…

I can’t recall the site but it had the tagline “If you can’t find it here….”Fuggggetahabouit” (great early vinyl site)

I digress….

So…I receive this record in the post…. Ice Cube 12” Good Day… 10yrs later...

And what was in inside…

The same Batman Picture cut out of “The Times” I used to have on my wall…

Wooooooo….. that can’t be right….

So I delved into my boxes….and had exactly the same newspaper picture still from my wall….

But…… weirdly….both pictures were cut out exactly the same way….

Freaked still!!!!

As an aside.....

Will Shatner.....Gremlin.......Twighlight......

Just sublime....

You got that right!

One day my lawyer stopped taking his meds and drove off into the sunset.

Ten days later his wife (a friend of mine) called up my husband and me told us that he was in jail in Los Angeles.

And could we please go get him out since she didn't have a car.

He got arrested at a check point near the Arizona - California border for extreme drunk driving and having an unregistered gun in the car.

He no longer practices law, they got a divorce, I dropped my civil law suit, and we all lived happily ever after.

Should we start a "Real Life Stories From The Twighlight Zone" thread?

I like the idea but I don't have any "Twighlight Zone" stories of my own.

Glad it sorted out in your favour

It does have a whiff of Benicio in "Fearing & Loathing..."

What a story Queen....!!!!!!

One that I will regale down the pub! ------- you are a legend!

a few months ago i decided i would take up

motorcycle ridin. the plan was to take this

course, get my liscens, buy a bike.

HOWEVER

i happened upon a very good deal on a bike

which changed everything...

this young lady i see from time to time says

"you don't need to be tryin to ride a motorcycle

there is nothin about it that you like"

of course i 'poo pooed' this line of thinkin...

i don't like sunlight, heat, or cold and not one

you could call 'outdoorsie'...

i guess the irony comes in when i called to

tell her that she had been correct in her assessment...

accordin to statistics the average rider has three

crashes on their bikes and the third one is fatal...

i have no idea if this is true BUT i shall not be

testin the validity of those numbers...

I'm glad that you didn't have to learn it the hard way.

Everyone I know who had a motorcycle got in an accident, got a semi-serious to serious injury and then sold their motocycle.

It doesn't matter how good of a motocyclist you are.

If you mix it it up with cars it's just a matter of time before you get in an accident.

The same is true for bicycles.

One of my friends was hit and killed by a car while he was riding his bike home from work.
