A series of unfortunate events?
I'd have to say quite the opposite.

So how about you and some of your friends are walking along, when a stranger comes up to you, speaks with you for 20 minutes or so, and ends up giving all your friends potential life changing advice.  Then he just leaves, and everyone wants to hear more of him.  Everyone is confused about who knows what.  Or maybe whats going to happen.
Could it be multiple events closely related all ironically about what that stranger was talking about?
One word: [pronounciation -> day-ja-voo]

Yes, ironically, every word this man said just seemed to fit perfectly into the situation that happened tonight.
Everything that happens has a purpose, and is supposed to happen.  It's just odd how tonight, every word that man said, makes complete sense.
I guess irony is a strang thing in that way. 
If I were looking, I could have seen this all about to happen.
