Please Help! How is Pedro's situation ironic?

Today was the big day. Pedro was interviewing for the job of his dreams. Nobody, not even Pedro himself could believe that there was a job that paid for blogging about and taking pictures of rare trees around the world. When Pedro had majored in photography, journalism, and biology in college, his parents had thought that he was losing his mind. They were worried that their brilliant son was wasting his genius. So, today was the day Pedro had to prove that it was all worth it.
Pedro ironed his dry-cleaned suit again, flossed his teeth, fixed every strand of his unruly hair, and got dressed for the interview. He drove to the café where he was meeting George Beforeman, the potential boss, and ordered a cold coffee to kill time. Pedro was calm until he saw someone fitting the description of George enter the front door. It was at the precise moment that George smiled at Pedro that Pedro spilled his cold coffee on his crisp suit.

A. Pedro orders cold coffee while he is trying to kill time before the interview.
B. Pedro ends up ruining the suit while trying hard to make a good impression.
C. Pedro tries too hard to appear crisp in front of the potential employer.
D. Pedro is smart, but he wants to waste his time researching rare trees.
