You shouldn't wish to die.
Bob wishes for no traffic while going to work, he runs into none - thinking himself lucky he wishes for a raise and gets one an hour later.
Bob wants to see what happens next.
Bob decides to be careful and wishes for his sports team to win.
Bob when going home sees that someone crashed into his car - in anger he remarks I wish I were dead.
Bob's team did win later that week, but Bob had forgotten about the wish by then.
Bob (believing his wish will come true) is so terrified that he actually has a heart attack from the fear.
