You're assuming that people are focusing on the passage of time -- they're trying to watch grass grow, they're trying to watch a pot of water, waiting for it to boil, and you're just trying to make that less boring, less painful and less frustrating than it was before.
Siamo convinti che le persone si concentrino sul passare del tempo, aspettando di vedere l'erba crescere o una pentola d'acqua che inizia a bollire, e proviamo solo a rendere l'attesa meno noiosa, meno dolorosa e meno frustrante rispetto a prima.
