So a chandelier falls on <insert person you don’t like>. During the inquest afterwards, some innocent chandelier-installer, building-maintennace person, bolt manufacturer, etc are going to be raked over the coals until they find a cause for the collapse.
Unless you’re positing that the power rearranges the universe to include the required web of events to bring, say, a vengeance-bound chandelier-installer to the right place at the right time?
I’d have to stay out of The Pit. The RO level I experience in some threads would be quite hazardous for some.
For instance the PA who prosecuted the kid for having a naked selfie of himself on his own cell phone. I could see the head flying off the judge’s gavel and catching him right in the temple.
I like this premise.
First thing I need to do is work on my awareness of my temper so I don’t accidentally make someone spontaneously combust for irritating me.
Second thing is experiment and practice so I can get the target sorted with minimal collateral damage.
Then, some drug dealers, child molesters, dictators and sundry others who piss me off are going to start having real bad days:cool:
I see your Medusa and raise you the Reverse-Midas, from now on everything you touch turns to shit. But seriously I would look for a cure or try to go into a medically induced coma, I don’t get mad often, and its usually not intense or long lasting, but what if its enough to cause serious harm? And as most regular folks, I am mostly mad at friends or family, not random strangers/dictators.
I’d say about 98% of the times I wish ill on other people, no matter how fleeting the thoughts, are when I’m on the road. I’m not sure I could ever leave the house again. It probably wouldn’t take that long before law enforcement caught on to the number of accidents I’d be leaving in my wake.
I’m thinking I’d just make their heads explode. Messy, but it wouldn’t kill anyone else.
If that’s not something I can do with the Medusa Effect, how about waiting until they’re alone in a room, and sucking all the air out?
Can I make Charles and David Koch’s tangible worldly possessions just kinda disintegrate? (I’d do the same with their much more extensive wealth in the form of stocks and other financial assets, but it doesn’t sound like the effect would allow for that without destroying a lot of other people’s wealth too.) I can repeat as necessary to keep them too busy to be the puppet masters of American politics anymore. Ditto Sheldon Adelson, the DeVos family of Amway fame, and so forth.
I’d call in bomb threats to the HQs of ALEC and the NRA, and once the buildings have been evacuated, they’d disintegrate as well.
Yeah, I could have fun with this. 
But any policeman who tried to arrest you would die.
If they did get you into court, the Judge would fall over dead, if you hadn’t already taken the Bard’s advice.
My understanding of the OP is that the target of my unhappiness has to be fairly specific. There’s nothing to stop the police from employing a sniper I don’t know about. Or simply nuking me from orbit.
Can we be walking down the street worrying about snipers, and they fall out of the trees and church towers in droves?
Reminds me of the section in a Pink Panther movie where Clouseau is wandering around the Tivoli Gardens being pursued by a horde of assassins from different agencies, each of whom doesn’t know about the others.
Each attack keeps missing Clouseau and instead takes out a different assassin. Eventually the last two inadvertently simultaneously kill each other and all is well. Such fun.
Does your dog bite?
Only once.
I guess it’s possible they’d figure out it was you eventually, but I don’t see it being quick. Assuming you can get out of your neighborhood without some idiot pissing you off, you’re going to be one car among many in the area of an accident. And the accidents are going to be in many areas (just along the path you take to work, and the store, and where ever else you drive regularly).
Various CSI shows notwithstanding, it would be a long time before there was enough video evidence gathered for someone to notice that there was one silver Dodge Dart in the area of a bunch of accidents (which are not happening at the same spot).
I see a flaw in this plan already…
Fair point. So long as they’re minor accidents, at least. If people are pissing me off enough to make me cause a bunch of major accidents, I’m assuming surveillance cameras are going to start coming into play.
And don’t even get me started on pedestrians…
I don’t tend to be bothered by small things nor to get angry at people. So, if I had this, probably the only result would be that - for example - the head of North Korea would keep keeling over mysteriously, until someone benevolent gained office.
So…basically, it would probably be good for the world if I had the Medusa Touch.
Am I the only one that saw “Midas Touch” in the title at first glance? I was going to say “Stop pleasuring myself immediately!” 
Could the power be used to demolish buildings if there are no people in them?
Wait. You were doing that, while reading the boards? :dubious:
A bit TMI, don’t you think?
There would be a lot less spammers in the world before I knew I had the power. If valium did not work, move to a remote place in Alaska.
There’s another angle to this power that worries me: namely, the times when I wasn’t feeling too good about myself during bouts of depression. What happens to the people who, even fleetingly, have suicidal thoughts?
This is more complicated than making a Little List.
