Everyone who uses the Monkey's Paw to wish for love has the object of their desire fall madly in love with them... Even the people that happen to be the objects of desire for multiple people. Relationship troubles caused by conflicting feelings skyrocket. On the whole, nothing really changes.
And of course, everyone who wished for mass extinction, global destruction or any other form of annihilation on a planetary scale has their wish granted, too. We all die.
