I wish for more genies. I wish that I could wish for more wishes. I wish for the ability to grant my own wishes. I wish that every wish I’ve ever made/will make comes true. I wish for the genie to lose the ability to count.
Historically genie (Jinn) wishes are always Monkey Paws, you just got shitted on six ways from Sunday, not least of which is being turned into a djinn.
Devil’s advocate here. The whole point of having the wish-giver be a sentient being is to filter bullshit loopholes like that. I like the idea of a highly moderate genie that takes his job seriously

Alithea Binnie : There’s no story about wishing that is not a cautionary tale. None end happily. Not even the ones that are supposed to be jokes.
Genie : But you and I are the authors of this story, and we can avoid all traps.

Be embarrassed by something: God, I wish I was de… fuck
Just use a lot of “ands” in the first wish. I wish for a pile of money and a jetpack and a lava lamp. Now I still have two wishes left
