Granted. Statewide power outage, the car is now a paperweight.

I wish our company maintenance department wasn't full of idiots.

Granted. The maintenance department is now empty.

I wish college would open again.

Granted but it is only open for researchers, faculty and administrative personell. Classes remain online.

I wish for a solar/wind generator array at home so I have electricity, and power my imaginary electric car, even if there is a blackout.

I wish that the new AMD GPUs will be great and affordable.

Granted. But their availability is as good as the current Nvidia 3080/3090 series.

I wish that Intel has the better CPUs again.

Granted, they minimally outperform AMD and cost twice as much.

I wish winter break to get here quicker.

Granted. COVID came back and the internet went out worldwide, now you're all in quarantine with nothing to do.

I wish the people who worked in sales had half the intelligence of the people who work in the back of the shop.

But Covid never left

Granted, sales guys used their newfound intelligence to change careers for a more lucrative position somewhere else. People in the back have to do their job and sales.

I wish sales guys actually had a decent idea of what they are selling, how it works and why the are selling it.

Granted, but the sales guys go so in depth every time they explain the product that it just goes over people's heads

I wish I had a dirt-bike

Granted. Somebody stole the engine the day before you pick it up.

I wish vintage steel didn't rot in New England winter.

Granted
You now have accumulated vast amounts of pristine steel in your garage, yard, house and are around your home. Local council sues you for the clutter accumulated in your neighborhood

I wish I had a Bombay cat

Granted but you get an bomb bay cat instead.

WIshing for a caramel coated dinosaur that can talk but must live in water

Granted, but the caramel coating dissolves in the water, leaving you with a leviathan-class dinosaur wreaking havoc throughout the worlds oceans, bringing shipping worldwide to its knees. And it has a terrible sense of humor, and a very short temper.

I wish my smartphone wasn't so smart, and just did what I told it to.

You refrencing something?

Granted now your cellphone does only what you told it to. However it is only capable to do voice calls with landlines and nothing more.

I wish I could get obscure references easily
