I agree it seems that way,but if you are watching another kettle beside it, it doesn't really seem to take forever for either one-- they both will boil !!

same reason people ask the question about watching a kettle till it boils. Some folks just have a hard time with original thought.

It'll seem like longer as all you are doing is standing there watching it. If however you were talking to you're neighbour, changing a kids nappy and trying to make the tea then the kettle will boil rather fast.
It's a way of saying "Have patience".

Yeah, it's a bummer. Sat there for ages watching this kettle in the shop window. Nothing happened. Must have been the Kryptonite.

It just seems to take forever if you stand there and watch. Hence it seems to never boil.

When you watch it, it just seems to take forever to boil.

Simple it's just because it seems longer when you watch it.
