Feb 9 at 8:25 comment added tofro I'm afraid you'll have to explain yourselves a bit more. Your "spending time ..." explanation sounds like a passive thing like procastination about something. The "thief" part, however, sounds a bit like someone actively undermining a decision. I seem to be drawn to a verb like "Zeit verplempern" (not Greek, but somewhat reminds me of "klept-")

No thanks, please. Changed to present time, since the word still exists (presumably).
