I recently drew the address of someone wishing for natural catastrophes. Luckily for her I had a Pompeii card waiting just for her! (and I don’t really think anyone else would’ve enjoyed that one)

These responses are fun to read; thank you, @yudi, for the topic! 
I appreciate unusual wish lists, as much as I enjoy being able to fulfill wishes for cat postcards. 
“Weird” topics may be surprising at first, but they often have the potential to be fascinating!
Recently, I saw a wish for craters, and I was thrilled to have what I hoped would be the perfect card: a vintage postcard of Crater Lake National Park in Oregon. I hope he enjoyed it. 
Something else that makes me smile is seeing funny juxtaposition in wish lists; for example:
–sunsets/sunrises
–kittens
–guns
All perfectly fine wishes. I guess the challenge would be to find a card that incorporates all of them.

For every card ever made, there truly is a postcrosser who wants it.
I just sent a toilet card for toilet card wishlist profile last week. I was so thrilled about it. Still waiting for it to arrive!
I have also got a profile wishing for cemetery cards. Sadly, I didn’t have any right then, but I did had one years back. I still remember it because it came with the random card selection I bought from second hand shop, but it was the first cemetery themed I have ever seen. I think I sent it to somebody who liked spooky themes, but it can also be that it is still in my old card pile that is somewhere in my parents’ house.
I have also drawn profiles asking for medical themed cards and horror cards, but so far nothing else extraordinary. I am still waiting for a profile that wants card of naked woman swimming while a stuffed (once living) moose is staring at her, because I have that one and it has been waiting for home for over a year already.
I love when that happens! I once got one, and the card I sent nailed at least three wishes on the list. Can’t recall now which one it was. I will have to check my wall to see if I can find it again.

I am 100% confident that someone out there is pining for Moose & Naked Lady. (It might be me.) Like you said, every postcard has an admirer out there!

Ahahah I did. In the museum for historical medicine in Berlin 
I also did send them. But I’ve never seen those cards somewhere else.

One of the weirdest requests I’ve gotten for a couple of different profiles now, is to cut a piece of cardboard from a local produce (for example a package of cookies or a box of cereal) and send it to them. I had a lot of fun preparing those two cards, and I reckon it’s interesting to receive them, but for me, I’ll stick with “regular” postcards

Oh yes, I forgot about that trend! Too bad I am so quick with recycling I rarely have any cardboard boxes left when I stumble upon a profile wishing for that. I think I have so far once sent something like that, when it was wished for. If I had a wishlist, that would be on it.
I love that cat and I will dream of it!

This isn’t the same thing, but one time I found cards of the Swiss voting and political system (I’m in Canada), so I would have been well matched to that recipient 
I was once matched to someone who wanted cards of urinals. I didn’t even know those existed. But just like you, I was lucky because they listed several other interests.

Perhaps I should update my profile!

I don’t really have any weird requests (although who am I to be the judge of that?). However the first official postcard I received was from The Netherlands and had a sticker of cheese on it. I like cheese, so the final item on my profile wish list simply says ‘cheese’.
I haven’t received any more cheese since then.

I bet Tate and Marcel Duchamp would have you covered for next time:

The US Customs confiscated the cards for illegal import of nutrition.

Dang it! That’s probably what’s been happening. All those customs officials feasting on free cheese!

I once saw (but did not draw) a profile that requested prisons. I happen to have 2 moodily-lit dramatic postcards of a historical prison in Boise Idaho just waiting to go!
I heard of a profile that requests a spritz of perfume on the card. I have a huge collection of perfumes, again just waiting to go!
But in the meantime, no weird requests at all. Not even a toilet. I am so disappointed 
After reading this thread, though, I’m tempted to add a few weird requests to my own profile…

I think the strangest I’ve had was “red haired peoples and aloe vera”

I ask for “postcards taken to promote something really dull, like a motel, library or town hall with no aesthetic merits”. I love these cards. I have lots of motel ones, some grocery stores, plus one of a hospital, and another of a petrol station.
