Granted. Although, with your new-found underwater breathing abilities, you are also granted the traditional "sub-aquatic human" ability of telepathically communicating with fish.
The novelty wears off very quickly as you soon realize that all fish think nothing but, "Swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, eat, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim...."
I wish the fellow at the next desk would stop talking so loudly on his phone.

Granted. The human race has just been wiped off the face of the Earth.
I wish they would do away with Daylight Saving Time.

(You know that's just how I thought the genie would grant the last one. Kind of takes care of Daylight Saving Time too, doesn't it? But of course he doesn't like to repeat himself.)
Granted. The genie having no concept of DST just went ahead and eliminated Time entirely. And now, among some rather basic existential problems, everyone's favorite Time Trapper stories are now out of continuity.
I wish Time would come back.

Granted! Unfortunately, it's been privatized by Government "austerity" hounds and sold off to the highest bidder: The Greyhound Bus Corporation.
If you've ever been on a Greyhound bus, I shouldn't have to explain any further.
I wish I had a fantastic, novel, inexpensive homemade food item ready to take to my buddy's birthday party this afternoon.

Granted, with no magical twists. But only because the Genie knows exactly how likely it is for the tasty treat to actually make it out of the house.
I wish I had one of those with the same flavor, only with less calories.

Granted! You are now a world-famous male model and actor. You are so well-known and lusted after that you cannot leave your house without people throwing themselves at you. Ultimately you become a recluse. Your fingernails grow to be ridiculously long and you walk around with Kleenex tissue boxes on your feet.
I wish Brian Unger would do an episode of How the States Got Their Shapes from my neighborhood, spot me and fall madly in love with me.

Granted. Brian Unger loves you so much; he gives you chocolate and flowers every day, takes you on these awesome vacations all around the world, and makes mad passionate love with you (and lets you do whatever you want to him!).
Too bad you just don't feel the spark, and end up seeing him as just a friend.
I wish I had a personal coffeemaker at work, that could make whatever drink I wanted it to. For free and without needing to be refilled.

Granted! Unfortunately, it runs exclusively on dilithium crystals, which don't actually exist.
I wish the cats were friends, and would quit fighting with each other all the time.
