This sounds mildly inconvenient at first but then you take a dump and realize the depth of the hell I sentenced you to

Could quickly build a infinite energy machine, sounds like a blessing not a curse

Not scalable, though, as you're the only person who it applies to, and it's only for things you can physically lift.

Once or every time? As you could end up in orbit pretty quick

I wonder how this would be implemented. Does everything get a bonus on the downward motion or the upward motion? I guess it would only work with the latter. And once it goes down a second time, you didn't drop it. Gravity pulled it back down. More interesting would be how direction is handled. Can I trick it by shitting on an incline? Does it go back to its previous position plus 10%? Then you could trick it by shitting in motion.

shitting on an incline

lmfao.

Upward motion, and only the initial bounce. shitting aside, playing basketball becomes stupid difficult. Clumsly dropping something like a hammer on a concrete floor now endangers your shins.
