00100001 · 30/10/2019 15:19

So, this is a little game to play, like Make-A-Wish, but you break someones' wish by grianting it, and then making it bad.

So for example
Poster 1: I wish I won the lottery!
Poster 2: Congratulations! You wont hte kacpot, but cna't find your ticket... I wish I was taller!
Poster Three: Poof, you're 10ft tall... etc

here's my wish :

I wish that Someone else would make dinner tonight!

Poof! Your house is fully decorated the way you want it, but has become radioactive, and is now in a no-go area. You can only gaze at your beautiful home through binoculars, from afar.

I wish I could sleep through the night without waking up in pain.

SamBeckett · 05/11/2019 05:49

Poof you can sleep through the night without waking in pain because you have no feeling in that area anymore .

I wish my milkman wasnt such a grumpy sod
( just took the milk off him and he did not say a word or even look at me )

NamechangeWhatFor · 05/11/2019 08:43

Poof, your milkman confesses his undying love to you. That's why he's so quiet with you.

I wish my dog wasn't a smelly sod.

BritishHorrorStory · 05/11/2019 09:14

Poof! Your dog smells lovely, so much so that someone broke into your house and stole them from you.

I wish I was rich

drspouse · 05/11/2019 09:24

Poof! You are rich but you have now got a queue of heretofore unknown relatives begging at your door.

I wish my DS didn't have meltdowns at school.

Shockers · 05/11/2019 16:14

Poof! Your DS’s school has closed, so he is now being home schooled by you. Today’s lessons are science and cookery!

I wish I could motivate myself.

NameChangedNoImagination · 05/11/2019 16:17

Poof! You can motivate yourself, but only to robberies. You commit a daring jewel heist but fall out with your criminal colleagues and have to spend your life on the run through South America.

I wish I had a Burberry trench coat.

ScreamingCosArgosHaveNoRavens · 05/11/2019 16:33

Poof! You have a Burberry trench coat but it's 5 sizes too big for you.

I wish I could find a really gripping novel to read.

drspouse · 05/11/2019 16:36

Poof! You have found a really gripping novel but you are now superglued to the page and can't eat or go to the toilet.

I wish my colleague would believe me when I say that our mutual line manager has asked them to continue with a task they temporarily took over from me.

Shockers · 05/11/2019 17:14

Not only does your colleague believe you, they think that they now have to do all of your work. You become so bored that you search YouTube videos of how to perform circus tricks and are sacked after your unicycle runs over the MD’s little toe and breaks it.

I wish I hadn’t used all the firewood this afternoon.

Shockers · 05/11/2019 17:14

Forgot the poof!

2018SoFarSoGreat · 05/11/2019 17:46

Poof! not only did you not use all the firewood, but it is now stacked so high you can't see out of your windows!

I wish losing weight was as easy as gaining is.

CherryCheezcake · 05/11/2019 17:50

Poof! You lost all your weight and floated up to the moon.

I wish I wasn't on jury service this week

ScreamingCosArgosHaveNoRavens · 05/11/2019 17:52

Poof! Losing weight becomes as easy as gaining it, and as a result your weight goes up and down like a yo-yo, meaning you have to maintain different wardrobes in four different dress sizes.

I wish my ancient carpets looked clean.

ScreamingCosArgosHaveNoRavens · 05/11/2019 17:54

Poof! Your jury service is moved to next June and coincides with a heatwave, so you're stuck sweating in court while everyone else is basking in the sun.

HotSauceCommittee · 05/11/2019 18:03

Poof! Your ancient carpets look clean because a big tiger came and washed them with tiger piss. Now they look clean, but they smell of tiger piss.
I wish I had got the job today; I am on the bank and was told it was a strong application for a very competitive intake, but I want to start and do training school with the main new input.

drspouse · 05/11/2019 18:08

Poof! You did get the job but you have the colleagues from hell who expect you to make their tea and never pay for their sandwich order.

I wish I hadn't bought those horrid veggie sausages that even I don't like.

sockittome123 · 05/11/2019 18:15

Poof! You no longer have to eat the sausages, but all the other food is gone from the house too.

I wish Brexit didn't exist and had never existed!

drspouse · 05/11/2019 18:18

Poof! Brexit has never existed because we never joined the EU and we're still in the 70s with power cuts and a three day week.

I wish the DCs would get DH to mend their teddies instead of me all the time.

Noseynails · 05/11/2019 18:55

Poof, the kids get your husband to fix their teddies, but now you have to spend every waking minute brushing the fur of a giant teddy that takes up an entire level of your house, and you have to pay for each brushstroke.
I wish I had a new Louis Vuitton handbag.

sockittome123 · 05/11/2019 19:03

Poof! Your new Louis Vuitton handbag is riddled with holes and scratches and reeks of smoke.

I wish I could stop eating chocolate... Flakes and Wispas in particular.

ScreamingCosArgosHaveNoRavens · 05/11/2019 19:14

Poof! Every time you touch something made of chocolate, it turns into a brussels sprout.

I wish my dog hadn't just farted. Envy

drspouse · 05/11/2019 19:28

Poof! He hasn't, he's thrown up instead. On your new handbag.

I wish I didn't have to untangle my ball of wool.

Noseynails · 05/11/2019 19:31

Poof, your dog hasn’t just farted, it’s had a massive stinking liquid diarrhoea explosion all over your sitting room and you and in your hair.
I wish I could be arsed to do my nails.

Noseynails · 05/11/2019 19:33

Poof, you don’t have to untangle your ball of wool, it’s all wound into a lovely cake, but you have to wipe your arse with it when you next have a shit, then use it to make yourself a cardigan which you have to wear every day and can’t wash.
I wish I could be arsed to do my nails.
