Irony Story

Ok, so I was going through some boxes and found a digital watch I haven't worn in about five years. It remarkably only one hour and one day off (due to a leap year and daylight savings). So I was correcting the time and date and guess what... the battery died right then and there. Now what are the odds that it will die JUST when I find it 5 years later...

Does anyone else have any stories of such blatant irony?

Ya I had two Samsung cell phones which only had the black and white screens at the time.. I had stored them in my basement for about 1/12 yrs before I decided to sell them.. When I turned them on they still had a full charge and it took nearly 3 hrs for the batteries to drain...
