How Ironic

Instructions: Read the text and state the type of irony is being used.

Though the police considered him a criminal, and property owners considered him a menace, Noodles considered himself an artist.  Noodles would paint huge murals and spray can artwork on everything he could reach, water towers, billboards, shop windows, overpasses, anything he could reach.  One day, Noodles spray painted his name in big block letters over the window of the local grocery store.  When the store owner arrived the next day, he was heard to utter, “Oh!  Thank you.  How nice of you, Noodles, to spray paint your name over my store window like that.  I really appreciate it.”  He never got to thank Noodles personally, though he often wished that he had.
