Want to make a wish? Just ask the Monkey’s Paw! No strings attached.*

Just create a post that starts with “I wish ___”. Other users will then grant you the wish, and probably not how you intended.

Granted, but it's the next person anywhere to wish anything, and now Allison in Manitoba successfully remembers where she left her keys.

Allison sends her thanks OP. You saved her 5 minutes of searching.

Granted, but the next person who wishes is Roger Goodell.

Granted. The next person wishes for the last wish to never have happened.

It seems wrong for the paw to change the next persons wish

I ain't the wisher, just the monkey handler.
