Bargaining before knowing the price
Max was having a yard sale to sell his household items. Jack and Carla wanted some of the items to furnish their house. Carla told Jack that he should bargain on the price to get ten dollars of every item before she even knew the price of the items. That is a situational irony because it is expected that a customer should ask the price of an item first before bargaining.
Intimacy between Carla and Max
Carla and her boyfriend Jack had gone to Max’s house to buy some items. When Jack got drunk and passed out, the two started dancing intimately because he (Jack) was asleep. This is situational irony because it is expected that lovers be faithful to each other.
The cash-flow problem
In the story 'Where did everyone go?’ the narrator says that there was a cashflow problem in his house because his wife had given the money to her boyfriend Ross. This is ironical for even the children suffered for there was not enough money in the house.
Ross' Job
In the story 'Where did everyone go,' the narrator points out that even though Ross worked as a handyman and he would repair electronics, he was unable to repair his wife’s car and the television. This is ironical because that was his job and he was unable to do it well.
