Break-A-Wish ... just for fun

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, someone will whisk you off on an adventure to the local supermarket to count change.
I wish I had new wool

Noseynails · 06/11/2019 12:33

Cross Post.
Poof, your house is redecorated in a mix of all of the worst aspects of 70s, 80s and 90s decor.
I wish I had new wool

Shockers · 06/11/2019 13:36

Poof! You have new wool- in fact you have turned into a lamb and the consensus on the farm is that you are growing so well, you’ll be the next for the table Sad.

I wish I didn’t keep getting shingles!

Noseynails · 06/11/2019 15:44

Poof, you don’t keep getting shingles, you have permanent shingles.
I wish I had a copy of take a break.

TheNestedIf · 06/11/2019 16:13

Cbeebies, if you're in the UK. It's like The Mighty Boosh for kids.

Poof! Heston, Gordon, Jamie and Hugh have kidnapped you and taken you to the depths of The Fat Duck to work on you with with the electric beaters. Afterwards, there's some sort of business with Hugh and your hair.

I wish next door's dog didn't keep barking every time we're outside at the same time.

TheNestedIf · 06/11/2019 16:14

Gah. Cross post by miles. That'll teach me to press "Refresh"!

00100001 · 06/11/2019 16:23

@Noseynails - Poof! a tattered, dog eared, water logged copy from 1995 appears for you to read.

@TheNestedIf - Poof! They never bark when you're both outside at the same time, they now bark every time you're indoors at the same time.

I wish I could sneak from work early and not get caught.

TheNestedIf · 06/11/2019 16:29

Poof! You can sneak from work early and not get caught when your evil double from the mirror universe takes over. You now have to explain why you're occasionally sporting a goatee and facing a disciplinary for the phaser incident.

I wish I knew who was putting something sulphurous down their drains that is stinking my bathroom out.

BareKneesDeCourcy · 06/11/2019 16:33

00100001

Poof! You sneak out from work unnoticed, but immediately fall down a manhole, and you’re there for 3 weeks because no one notices.

I wish I had a flat that was higher up, with a sunny balcony and excellent views.

BareKneesDeCourcy · 06/11/2019 16:35

TheNestedIf

Oops.

Turns out it’s you and your toxic trumps.

00100001 · 06/11/2019 16:35

@BareKneesDeCourcy Poof! You live on the 150th floor with a stunning view from your sunny balcony and the lifts are permanently broken.

@TheNestedIf - you find out. It's you doing it in your sleep and you have no way of stopping this.

I wish my office was a bit nicer.

OP posts:
NameChangedNoImagination · 06/11/2019 16:53

Poof! Your office is all gold plated. The insurance premiums are £2000 a month and you have to pay them as you made the request for the upgrade.

I wish I was 4 inches taller.

TheNestedIf · 06/11/2019 17:18

Poof! You are 4 inches taller but keeping your balance on those tortoises won't be easy.

I wish there were some better films on TV tonight.

FurrySlipperBoots · 06/11/2019 17:50

Poof! There are some fantastic films on TV tonight, but in your haste to turn the screen on so you don't miss the start, you trip and knock the thing off its stand with a horrible smashing sound.

I wish my car wasn't so stinky.

Noseynails · 06/11/2019 18:29

Poof, your car isn’t stinky, but it has an infestation of rats.
I wish I knew what I wanted for my supper.

Elodie2019 · 06/11/2019 18:32

Poof! Your car smells beautiful but has 4 flat tyres and the battery has died.

I wish Boris Johnson would disappear

Elodie2019 · 06/11/2019 18:33

Xpost

Poof! You know what you want for supper but you have only one tin of pea soup in the cupboard

I wish Boris would disappear

TheNestedIf · 06/11/2019 18:55

Poof! Boris has disappeared and Jacob Twee-Smogg is now PM. I hope you're proud of yourself.

I wish there was more bunting about.

00100001 · 06/11/2019 21:20

@TheNestedIf - poof! Bunting everywhere! It flaps in your face all day, and you find yourself pulling it out of places like a magician and his never ending tissues.

I wish this series of the Apprentice was better

OP posts:
TheNestedIf · 06/11/2019 21:40

All the posts on this thread have made me laugh but that one actually caused tears and snot.

Poof! This series of The Apprentice is better but there's an army of brooms and buckets heading your way so best get some sandbags.

I wish I could actually do that thing with the bunting above. I really like bunting.

00100001 · 06/11/2019 21:47

Poof! You can now do that! but only from your bum and every time you need a poo... and there's a big spiky cactus tied to the end.

I wish my cat wouldn't keep opening the doors I have just shut!

OP posts:
TheNestedIf · 06/11/2019 22:04

Poof! Your cat doesn't keep opening the doors you've shut. But now a doorway to another dimension has opened in which the cat is making a wish on a public forum that you wouldn't keep shutting all the doors. In this dimension, the cat has the opposable thumbs.

I wish I had the patience of Mary Poppins.

Elodie2019 · 06/11/2019 22:22

Poof! You have the patience of Mary Poppins and you are nanny to 1000 rude, ungrateful children

I wish I was a spider on the wall....

TheNestedIf · 07/11/2019 01:33

Poof! You are a spider on a wall but there is a lot of MN washing being darked on that you need to rub your willy over so you're in for a rather busy night.

I wish I hadn't wasted the last 1 1/2 hours on this boring film that still isn't over and was ruined by its big reveal about halfway through.

Elodie2019 · 07/11/2019 07:39

Ok...!

Interesting last round....

Poof... you didn't waste your time watching that fillm, Films /tv no longer exist. Back to reading books and board games.

I wish someone would come and clean my house...
