It is understood that when someone says “give me two seconds” or “give me a few minutes,” they aren’t expecting you to pull out a stopwatch. It seems to me that the Indian equivalent is “just wait five minutes” or “just wait ten minutes.” This is increased in increments of five minutes, depending on the time.
It never takes that long. But, then again, it never only takes us a few minutes.
