Why does is ironic thing always happen to us?

Has this ironic thing ever happened to you? When you think about someone that you haven't seen a while. Then you encounter them sometime that day or the next. I find it very ironic

This masterpiece of eloquence uses the most popular misconception of irony: as a synonym for 'coincidence'. This person is, with intriguing sentence structure, talking about the coincidence of seeing a person soon after thinking about them for the first time in a while. It's amazing how remote that is from genuine irony.
