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! Edward Scissorhands comes and cleans your house but he also cuts up all the soft furnishings.

I wish my hip didn't hurt and I could go running again.

@drspouse - Poof! Your hip no longer hurts, you go running again! On your first run, you trip and break both your ankles.

I wish lunch was now and not in 50 minutes time!

Poof! Lunch is now, but this reply is 95 minutes later so you had to wait longer anyway.

I wish I could go to Hawaii.

NameChangedNoImagination · 07/11/2019 13:30

Poof! You're in Hawaii on a romantic couples retreat in the middle of nowhere with your most hated ex.

I wish I had more time in the day.

Shockers · 07/11/2019 14:28

You’ve just been sacked- your time is all your own now.

I wish I had some money to spend on frivolous things.

FurrySlipperBoots · 07/11/2019 15:40

Poof! You find an jiffy bag stuffed with notes lying on the street corner and spend spend spend on all the frivolous things you desire. Unfortunately turns out the envelope was mislaid by the local drugs baron. He's tracked you down and wants a 'little word'...

I wish my dear old tiger teddy wasn't showing his age so badly, and hadn't lost his eye.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 07/11/2019 17:04

Poof!
Your tiger looks pristine, but he hasn't lost an eye.
He's lost both.
I wish my son wasn't a scatterbrain.

sockittome123 · 07/11/2019 18:32

Poof! Your son is no longer a scatterbrain, he is on the ball to the point of being ahead of the ball... including ringing you multiple times a day to ask if you need anything doing, whether he needs to prepare anything etc etc... at the most inconvenient times.

NameChangedNoImagination · 08/11/2019 19:36

I wish I had a posh period flat.

FurrySlipperBoots · 08/11/2019 19:57

Poof! Complete with it's very own ghost, 'Gladys', who shrieks through the night.

I wish someone else would do my tax for me.

Shockers · 09/11/2019 00:07

Poof! I’m doing it for you, but I’m crap at it and you’ll end up paying three times as much as you need to.

I wish I could teleport objects.

BritishHorrorStory · 09/11/2019 03:05

Poof! You can, but your every thought gets teleported. So when you say things like ‘crap’, well...

I wish I could get back to sleep.

NameChangedNoImagination · 09/11/2019 03:38

Poof! But you sleep-type your deepest darkest secrets on AIBU with identifying personal info.

I wish I had a brand new maserati SUV.

Frownette · 09/11/2019 04:18

Poof! You're the proud owner of a toy size one.

I wish I had peace and quiet

BritishHorrorStory · 09/11/2019 07:04

Poof! You’re deaf.

I wish I had more hours in the day.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 09/11/2019 07:27

Poof! You do have more hours on the day.
It's now always day here. Earth has become tidally locked in orbit and this side of the planet will forever face the sun. Congratulations, we're all going to die.

I wish paracetamol actually bloody worked when I take it. Might as well swallow smarties. Grrr.

TheNestedIf · 09/11/2019 13:51

Poof! Paracetamol actually bloody works but numbs you so well that you can no longer taste smarties. Or anything at all, really.

I wish I didn't have to go to a boring conference this week that management are trying to pretend will be the adult equivalent of soft play.

BettyBloom · 09/11/2019 18:24

Poof! You no longer have to go to the conference but have your work place has been turned in to and adult soft play.

I wish that I could ride a motorbike.

sockittome123 · 09/11/2019 18:50

Poof! You can ride a motorbike, but you have to ride it everywhere. No other method of transport is permitted. Good luck going abroad with that thing...

I wish the cake I made a few days ago hadn't dried out so soon.

Noseynails · 09/11/2019 21:00

Poof, the cake hasn’t dried out but it’s attracted rats and you’ve been bit and you’ve got rat bite fever and you have half an hour left to live.
I wish there was something good to watch on the telly

MissMoan · 09/11/2019 22:49

Poof, there's something good on all day long, but it's all dubbed in Klingon.

I wish I had an awesome body.

TheNestedIf · 09/11/2019 23:41

Poof! You do have an awesome body but no more room under the patio. And you can hear sirens.

I wish it wasn't too late to have a cup of tea without being awake half the night.

DungballInADress · 09/11/2019 23:46

Poof! Someone makes you a decaf tea (that doesn't taste awful) and you drift off into a lovely sleep, but next doors cat wakes you up by having very loud sex in your garden.

I wish I could score a try in my rugby match tomorrow.

SparePantsAndLego · 10/11/2019 00:37

Poof! you score a try but in doing so you injure your shoulder and end up out of action (sorry!).

I wish my days weren’t filled with clock watching and running from one thing to the next...and the next...and the next.

Purpleartichoke · 10/11/2019 00:45

Poof! You are wrongfully convicted of a crime and will spend the rest of your days in a prison cell. There is not clock to watch, but time seems to move very slowly.
