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! You can run 5k in 30 minutes. Unfortunately that lion that's chasing you can do it in 29.

I wish that ham had arrived in my shopping delivery this morning.

Shockers · 03/11/2019 11:37

Poof- it did, but it was still alive and had a full bowel.

I wish I could walk miles instead of hobbling with this stick.

ScreamingCosArgosHaveNoRavens · 03/11/2019 11:38

Poof! You spend the rest of the day hastily constructing a sty for your new pet pig.

I wish I'd got up a bit earlier this morning.

ScreamingCosArgosHaveNoRavens · 03/11/2019 11:38

Ha ha - x-post!

CigarsofthePharoahs · 03/11/2019 11:39

Poof! It did arrive, but the delivery man has trodden on it.
I wish my son didn't have stinky feet.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 03/11/2019 11:40

Poof! You can walk for miles and you gave to because you're now miles from home.
Poof! You've now been awake since 3am and are about to doze off again.

Clawdy · 03/11/2019 14:05

Poof! He doesn't have stinky feet, you realise it's your own feet you've been smelling.
I wish I could go and live in the Lake District.

NameChangedNoImagination · 03/11/2019 14:33

Poof! You live in the Lake District. In a tent.

I wish I could marry Will Smith.

BritishHorrorStory · 03/11/2019 15:20

Poof! You married Will Smith. One of the millions of Will Smith’s in the world, not the actor.

I wish I was a brilliant cook and was good enough to go on the Great British Bake Off

Shockers · 03/11/2019 17:05

Poof! You are a brilliant cook- but you’re a rubbish baker, and now everyone knows.

I wish my husband would stop whinging about me being messy.

FurrySlipperBoots · 03/11/2019 18:02

Poof! He's stopped whinging, but has become three times worse than you! You can no longer see the carpet for the clutter spread across the floor, and there's quite possibly a vermin infestation going on...

I wish I'd made my parkin 2 weeks ago like the recipe says, instead of waiting til today.

NameChangedNoImagination · 03/11/2019 18:15

Poof! You made it two weeks ago but left it out on the side and your dog ate it all.

I wish I had a brand new laptop.

TheNestedIf · 03/11/2019 18:38

Poof! You have a brand new laptop. It's an ex-display model and was last road tested by someone with c diff.

I wish I'd bothered to go out and see some fireworks.

Granted! You went to see the fireworks! it rained all night, you burnt your fingers on a sparklerand inhaled too much smoke from the bonfire, which meant you had to go the urgent care clinic with your kids at 11pm, waited 4 hours to be seen, only to be sent home at 3am, being told to go to your GP.

I wish I could go to work an hour late, with no consequences

TheNestedIf · 03/11/2019 18:57

Poof! You may have your wish on October 31st 2020 whilst having the sneaking suspiciou there's something you really ought to have done that weekend.

I wish celery and chocolate would swap calories.

TheNestedIf · 03/11/2019 18:57

*suspicion

CigarsofthePharoahs · 03/11/2019 19:18

Poof! They have indeed swapped calories. They've also swapped flavour too.
I wish watching other people playing computer games on YouTube wasn't a thing.

totallyradllama · 03/11/2019 19:40

Granted. YouTube gamers never existed.
You are now stuck in level 36 of a game with no way out.

I wish Miranda would make another series

Shockers · 03/11/2019 19:45

Poof! Miranda will make another series, but it’s Miranda who works on the deli counter in Booths and she lacks the funny.

I wish spring would come now and we didn’t have to go through Christmas.

SamBeckett · 03/11/2019 20:13

Poof it is now spring but you missed a big party where you were the guest of honer .

I wish I did not have to wade through a load of CVs tomorrow

Clawdy · 03/11/2019 20:52

Poof! You don't have to, because you'll be in bed with flu.
I wish I could buy that beautiful painting I like.

FurrySlipperBoots · 03/11/2019 21:09

Poof! But you only go and drop it trying to get it into your car, right in a huge muddy puddle.

I wish my dog would stop eating sheep poo on our walks.

Fakeflowersaremynewnormal · 03/11/2019 21:19

totallyradllama apparently Mayim Bialik and Jim Parsons who played Amy and Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory are making an American version of Miranda we aren't sure if it will be any good though so this may be breaking your wish in real life.

Clawdy you buy the painting but it haunted by a poltergeist.
I wish my cold would go in time for work tomorrow

Shockers · 03/11/2019 21:25

Poof! Your dog will stop eating sheep poo because he/she will discover the delights of cow pats, both to eat and roll in.

I wish I could wake up to an extra £20,000 in my bank account.

Fakeflowersaremynewnormal · 03/11/2019 21:27

You have an extra £20,000 but are being hounded by a Nigerian Prince who wants it back.
I wish Mince Pies were low carb
