Time thief
Someone who takes up your time with pointless explanations or anecdotes.
When asking a collegue a yes/no question, he replied with a 45 minute response. Not only that but he sent a follow up email later that day and when I didn't reply once again accosted me with with his response (which still didn't answer the question). My collegue is a time thief as he took more than an hour of my time.

It means that the time is going faster then you thought, and that it can have consequences.
You better get the butter, time is a thief.
