Thank you for this. I always struggle to explain irony to my students, it is really one of those things you just have to "get." But this is perfect! :)

The Urban Dictionary has an interesting definition of situational irony: Situational Irony - The irony that most people think of. A difference between what you expect to happen (in a story, for example) and what actually happens. Rain on your wedding day would be a sort-of example, because a wedding day is generally expected to be a perfect, happy day. The good advice you didn't take, however, would NOT be irony, because that has nothing to do with what is expected and what isn't expected. A traffic jam when you're already late wouldn't be irony either; there's no automatic expectation that traffic will be fine, just because you happen to be late.

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