I just realized that if someone burned Fahrenheit 451 the fire would probably consist of pure concentrated irony. What's the most ironic thing you can think of?

If the next Ferrari was named the F451

Rain on your wedding day? Oh wait, no, that was some retard's definition of irony.

Paper doesn't burn at F 451. It does have a nice ring to it though.

Not being a hipster. As hipsters strive for being different and doing things out of irony, now that their numbers are growing, it is almost more hipster to not be a hipster.

If BMW started putting little tiny engines in these huge bloated cars with no steering fee- oh..wait..

That's simply supply not meeting demand.

The most ironic thing I've ever come across is probably that Great Britain declared war on Nazi Germany to maintain Poland's independence in the face of invasion by a totalitarian regime, but the war ended with Poland all-but annexed by the Soviet Union.

Not sure if this is irony, or just confusing.

Having to call your wife to bring you keys to the car that you just drove to work because you left them at home.

Cameron : Hey, a hybrid? What happened to your gas guzzler?
Dutch : Going green, Broheim. Yeah, I saw this intense movie about how we're killing our planet.
Cameron : "An Inconvenient Truth."
Dutch : "Water World." Yeah, the great Kevin Costner plays this fish dude. Really opened my eyes. So... I bought this puppy. Then I ripped out all that electric crap, dropped in an ass-ton of ponies. Well, I got a Michael Bolton. Giddyap!

Keyless ignition.

If the fob is close enough to get the car started, you can leave the house without your keys.

Hardest thing to explain to co-workers, ever.

“Guys, I'll be right back, I need to run down and get my keys from my wife.”
“OK, forget your house keys?”
“No, car keys?”
“Why do you need your car keys?”
“To drive my car home.”
“Ah gotcha, lost your keys, huh?”
“No, I left them at home”
“How did you get here, then?”
“I drove.”
“Your car?”
“Yes.”
“Did you lose your keys?”
“No.”
“?????????”

You do realize that Fahrenheit 451 is a book about a man who burns books and comes to the realization that it's wrong to burn books, right?

Yes, I've read the book. Would you consider your proposed situation to be verbal, situational, or dramatic irony? I guess it's closest to situational, but I don't think it really qualifies.
