[Genies] Are Genies required by some cosmic force to put a sinister twist on wishes, or do they do it for their own entertainment?

Lets say you're a, near as it matters, all powerful elemental that hangs out in the arabian deserts. Your omnipotence means that nothing is particularly interesting except free-will so you spend your time legitimatly offering kingdoms\riches etc to mortals just to see what impact they'll have or  how quickly they drive themselves to despair.  

One afternoon you take a rest for a bit only to wake up contained, bound and limited to using your power solely to aid the smug git that caught you napping.  Time to get your smite on... except you can't so you just grant wishes with a side dish of delicious irony.  

A few masters down the line and it feels like old times except instead of tempting the poor sods to act as your playthings they come to you and demand it.   Let the good times roll.
