In what situations does time change its nature?
You’re about to go on vacation. The weeks leading up to departure are endless, and then… 7 days have gone by in a minute and you’re back on your way home.
If you want time to slow down, just sit in a doctor’s waiting room or wait for your friend’s plane to land for about a month and a half some afternoon.
Where does time expand or compress for you?

Well it certainly does when money is involved.
As in money and time is the same thing and one is running short of.

@larry_cma I’m confused at what your very large paragraph(s) on medicine has to do with the question put forth?
Well @Plucky you’re right. It didn’t answer the question but it referred to a PM conversation we were having and that got carried over. Carry on please with time compression/expansion.
Time drags when you read through some of the tedious threads on here which descend into petty little name calling, time flies when you catch a glimpse of cleavage on a girl you pass in the street…only too brief.
When I’m in dire danger, time seems to slow until I have all the time in the world to think about how much this is going ot hurt and how poorly it’s going to turn out.
When you have an elevator to yourself and fart.
“Time’s” nature doesn’t change. Our perception of it does. (Maybe something to do with the theory of relativity?)
Time is a measure of change, the speed at which things change is dictated by their make-up(animals age differently than humans), speed, mass etc.
For one person a relaxing day goes by before they can blink, for another a busy day can seem to last forever or visa versa.
I just realized another situation where time slows to an endless eternity. A staff meeting.
Why is there always that one person who asks an entirely irrelevant question just as the meeting is wrapping up? I wish I had the balls to bring a super-soaker to the meeting. I don’t want to kill him/her, I just want to distract and make them wet.
