Where u take a cursed item for free and get like a super power? Or is that just in movies?

There is no real world equivalent, especially when you consider that devil fruit even in One Piece are from another reality.

Some guy says he want to be the fastest runner in the world, so the owner of the cursed pawn shop hands him some shoes free of charge, later on that day he puts them on and starts running 50 miles an hour but little did he know that he cant stop running and will continue running until he dies.

C0FFINCASE wrote:Also none of the stuff in that episode gave people super powers, it cursed them to horrible fates until Rick fixed them.

i.e. shoes that make you run really fast, but they also make you run forever until you die
In the episode Rick later opened a shop that removed the curses off the items so that people could use the items without dealing with the curse that came with them.[1]
"After Rick discovers that a microscope from Needful Things has a curse on it, he reverse-engineers the curses by utilizing his scientific knowledge. This results in Rick being able to scan cursed items, discover what their curse is, and then cleanse the curse from the item while retaining it's supernatural benefits."

C0FFINCASE wrote:Yes but the store nor the devil sell super power granting items, it gives out curses. Rick just happens to manipulate that later on. Originally the store and it's items do not function as cclown suggested.

Another example from memory: Mr. Goldenfold got a cursed item from the store that gave him the super power of attracting women to him. The curse it carried however made him impotent.
All the items gave them supernatural powers, but as Rick said (verbatim), also "fucked with their lives in unforeseeable ways." That's why the Devil often said "everything has a price" because the cost of power was not free.

i.e. I can run faster than anyone in the world, I also have no legs, therefore I don't run faster than anyone.
