You know what they say about a watched pot....

[jyoung]

Yeah - it calls the kettle black

[angelize]

A watched pot never boils

[mwenz]

Sure it boils. It takes precisely the same amount of time whether watched or not.

When I was rolling in changes and updates to applications, my favorite response was the Paul Masson wine commercial slogan.

Ha! Had to look that one up. Here'a a few more --

And it DOES take longer when you watch it. Time is relative to the observer. Like Einstein's quote --
"When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity."
Toss that stopwatch!

I would say time is a slippery constant. Even an atomic clock is off.

Yes! I remember years ago, one of our first astronauts came back to earth 1/100 second younger than when he left. So I tried to sell an ad campaign, where we would shoot lipstick into space and it would come back younger and thereby benefit the customer. This went nowhere (as you'd expect), but still might be a good idea if L'Oreal could get their hands on one of those new railguns. But, time being time, you'd have to use XDP for the packaging graphics, or that Creative Cloud stuff might just slide off in mid-flight, at 12,000 mph, somewhere over Kansas on its way to Paris for the big product launch.

If I put instant coffee in a microwave, would I go back in time?
