I'd wish for my taxes to be done automatically each year. God, that'd save a head ache.
Or that my phone/laptop never needs to be charged again.

No more bugs in the house.
Not that it's even a problem but when I find A spider or fly or fruit fly, I hate it. It irritates me that these things trespass in my home and don't even care that I'll kill them for it. See a stray ant crawling around? RRR!

I'd wish for the ability of lucid dreaming. Can't tell you how many times I've had a good dream but was unable to remember it...
1 Everyone over the age of fifty has to talk like Christopher Walken.
2 People that have murdered others in cold blood now have taste buds everywhere on there body (And I mean everywhere).
3 People that have a c in there name get a extra cone in there eyes. (Cones allow you to see different parts of the light spectrum).
4 Lastly every song ever will have a new version of itself entirely played by kazoos.

Inflatable Lips!
Lots of funky uses, plus I have very thin lips which is a distinct disadvantage for me sometimes...
This would actually be really helpful to me. I'm a train driver. And I too hate stairs.Buzz Killington said:

As for my wish? I'd wish for the ability to glow.
I have several. It would be hard to choose.
1) The roads are always clear of other drivers.
No school buses, no construction equipment, no asshole trying to crawl up my tailpipe with his high beams on, no idiot going ten under the limit for no good reason. Just straight asphalt as far as the eye can see. Sheer coincidence makes everyone else turn down the side streets, save that construction job for another day, or whatever.
This is more of an I-hate-people thing than an afraid-of-bad-weather thing, but it would be nice if it worked on weather also.
2) I have an "I don't care" button that lets me skip any conversation at will.
If I had a nickel for every time I've repeated the same three or four interminable, unwinnable conversations at work, I could take a week's vacation. I know pretty much every word before they even start. Same with life. I don't care what your two-year old learned to do the other day, I just really do not.
The key to this one is it's like skipping a cutscene. As far as anyone else is concerned, the conversation happened. I just don't have to sit through it. Technically I could skip any conversation already by yelling "don't care" and walking away but it's hard to get along with people after you do that a few times.
3) Perfect recall, ideally with turbocharged thinking power a la Limitless.
Fairly self-explanatory. If I could remember everything, I'd be terrifyingly smart after a few short years of reading. If I could put A and B together as fast as Eddie does, I'd be unstoppable.
4) Conversational wizardry.
I always have the right joke and can devastate anyone with a cutting comeback.

I'd be giving you an incredible stink-eye right now, if I wasn't laughing so damm hard!Gavmando said:
Oh yes, because there is no way that can bite you in the ass, maybe you should specify it as skip the conversation in the way you desire or only the truly pointless ones. Real life is not like a majority of games that only have one path or even the branching games, the amount of ways a conversation can unfold in the real world is truly limitless. I'll show you what I mean... actually I can't come up with anything right now, but the point is that just because you skipped a conversation, doesn't mean that the outcome was entirely favorable.Johnny Impact said:

You'll notice I said "the same three or four interminable, unwinnable conversations." I *know* the outcome isn't necessarily going to be entirely favorable, hence my use of the word "unwinnable."cojo965 said:
Even the ones I don't know exactly, I can chart with pretty good accuracy. I choose to say nothing to the pretty lady obstructing the coffee machine in the bagel shop because A) I have a couple minutes, she'll move on her own, B) pretty ladies get hit on all the time, she wants nothing to do with a schlub like me, what she wants is to be left alone, C) I am socially retarded, so my chances of being charming enough to warrant a real conversation are analogous to my odds of hitting the lottery, D) it is HIGHLY doubtful she'd be engaged by a topic of interest to me, for example the willfully ignorant, sensationalist misrepresentation of the theory of evolution by creationists and the media, E) and so on and so forth. Get the brush-off with optional put-down, screw up on my own, fail to pique her interest -- I'm aware of at least a dozen possible paths of conversation and none of them go to a place either she or I want to be. In this case I skip the conversation by never starting it. Most times I don't have the option.
And yes, as a matter of fact I *do* know exactly how most conversations are going to play out:
- Unhappy customer is going to vent until he's satisfied he's taken sufficient advantage of someone who gets paid not to tell him where to stick his attitude, then he's going to take his credit and go away.
- Friendly customer is going to make the same remark about the weather or the local sports team, neither of which I care the least bit about and both of which I've already heard fifty times today.
- Relentless horn-dog on the crew is going to talk the same line of macho bullshit, almost verbatim, about at least a dozen women we see throughout the day, like he has every day since he started. Then he'll say the government are all corrupt maggots.
- Crew's resident Mr Sunshine will talk the same line of nihilistic crap he talks pretty much every day. Then he'll rave about Grand Theft Auto for about an hour and a half. After that, he'll tell me how crazy all his past girlfriends have been, and how much happier he is now that he's alone. Not true (the being happy part; he definitely dates psychos), but he'll say it anyway.
- Resident complainer will talk about how resident doofus didn't do his work, why is he still here when he sucks so bad?
Sure, I can call the horn-dog on his transparent lies, but it won't teach him anything. He does NOT take criticism well, or at all. He'll just get mad, say I'm jealous of his sexual prowess, and before the day is out he'll be back to routine.
Mr Sunshine is not about to have his mind changed by me or anyone, nor can he be dissuaded from teaching me all about a game I've never played and have no intention of playing.
I can tell the unhappy customer to stick it, but I won't have a job for very long.
So all these conversations are going to play out, again, and again, and again. Real life conversation often *is* like a cutscene: no matter how many times you play it, it's identical.
The whole idea is I'll take the outcome, whatever it might be, I just don't have to have my time wasted. I'd like to have better conversations but we were told to wish for something silly and inconsequential.
