Your post reminded me of an episode of the Twilight Zone.
Not the original black & white, but the color version in the 80s.

A lady discovered she had the ability to stop time on command.
She used it throughout the episode to make her daily routine easier
and more pleasant. Once to stop the kids from bickering for a few
minutes of peace. Another at a grocery outlet so she wouldn't have
to wait on line, and so forth.

During the final scene, nuclear war had been declared with Russia
(this was the 80's after all), and ICBM's had been deployed
from both sides ensuring certain mutual destruction. She used her
power to freeze time for what would be her last, to prevent the missiles
from touching down.

The episode closed with her walking around the streets seeing her neighbors
frozen in panic. I remember being freaked out by this episode as a child.

What would you do if you were in such a situation? How would you feel?

Similar to the black and white one where they guy just wanted to read all the time and not be around anyone.
And the world was destroyed by nuclear war and he was totally alone.
Until his glasses broke and he fell into despair.

Or the one with the guy who got annoyed with everyone.
And he wished they would all be gone.
It happened.
Eventually he started missing company, made a few more wishes and wished things back to the original state.
