​Petty things to wish for

Recently, one of my friends used the phrase, "I want to strangle her." Though I, and many others, can relate to extreme frustration or dislike to select people, I hope you never feel the need to be so violent and extreme. Instead of wishing them dead, why not wish them inconvenienced? It's so much sweeter. So, to anyone who has done wrong, just say: I hope you…
