17 Situations That Prove Life Is More Ironic Than We Thought

Murphy’s law has taught us that “If anything can go wrong, it will.” And we all know that sometimes the Universe loves to throw us in ironic situations, just to show us its twisted sense of humor. However, science tells us that we can break this law by being optimistic and looking on the bright side of things. Because believing in a positive outcome will give us the motivation we need to face life’s irony.

Bright Side believes that we need to smile back at life’s curious jokes, instead of feeling annoyed or unsettled. Here are some situations that prove that the Universe’s talent of sarcasm is unmatchable.
