IRONY:

noun: incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs (Example: "The irony of Ireland's copying the nation she most hated")
noun: a trope that involves incongruity between what is expected and what occurs
noun: witty language used to convey insults or scorn (Example: "Irony is wasted on the stupid")


No...I don't see the irony at all. When else could you verify the contents until after you opened the package? I don't have X-Ray vision and can't see through a box.

Since most tents have several parts to them, it's important to make sure that all the parts are there!. Nothing could be worse than to go camping somewhere and be unable to set up the tent because you were missing parts.

Well, some people wouldn't think to do that. I found it ironical. And, I don't need a dictionary defenition of the term, thanks though ~I find that a tad rude

I don't know why you felt the need to do that.

I am very sorry I came in here to read your replies, Kelsey.

If you have something to say to me, say it.

Actually...I was coming back to edit my reply because in hindsight I realized that I might have sounded rude...which was not my intent.

I thought I was missing something in your post...so I looked up the word because I thought that there might be some definition of the word I didn't know.

You are right though...I was rude to post that and I apologize.

I still don't get why you thought the instructions were ironic...or even silly...stupid...or whatever. They made perfect sense to me.

But, whatever...I am sorry I was rude to you.

OHHHHH...now I get it. Yea...that makes sense. I guess because I was a girl scout for so many years I know you should always check your equipment before making the trip. But, you are right, not everyone would know to do that.

Thanks for the clarification.
