Quote: “Time flies when you’re having fun — but it taxis very slowly when you’re waiting for the kettle to boil.”
— Anne Teak
Anne Teak delights in pointing out the mismatch between how we think time behaves and how it actually sneaks past us. Joyful moments vanish in a blur, while the most trivial tasks — like waiting for a kettle or a download bar — stretch into eternity.
Her playful observation reminds us that the measurement of time is less about clocks and more about context. The minutes you spend laughing with friends are feather-light, while the seconds you spend staring at a kettle are laden with lead.
For Anne, the trick isn’t in bending time but in choosing how to spend it. Chase the moments that run away from you, and ignore the ones that plod — because either way, the kettle will still take its sweet time.

I thought you were going to say, “Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.”
