The problem with wishes is that you never quite know what you're going to get. If your genie is malicious (and many of them are) they will try to make things bad for you. If your wish is vague, there is much room for interpretation and addition. If you try to anticipate all ways the genie could screw with you, you'll still leave something out. For instance, say you wish for a fabulous house on a hill. You'll get put on an active volcano. Specify a particular location and you'll be sent to dinosaur times. Specify a time and you'll get a house with a mortgage about to foreclose. Specify the cash to pay for the mortgage and you'll be made the last man on earth. You wish for other people, but you'll also get leprosy. It just goes on and on.

PS - You could try wishing your genie wasn't so mean.
PPS - But then you'd probably end up with no genie at all.
