In my opinion, I think of The Twilight Zone's "A Kind of a Stopwatch". Well, that and the concept of relative time.

Now, the person with the ability to stop time will see everything else around them stop. Now, on the other end of the spectrum, I think that any outside observer should end up seeing this person disappear from one location and reappear in another instantly, as well as observing any changes made by this person instantly. This suggests that, to any outside observer, the person with a device or natural ability to stop time is moving at a rate that is about the speed of light.

If this person had a device that could stop time, and it stopped working, like with Patrick McNulty accidentally breaking the stopwatch in the aforementioned episode of The Twilight Zone, they will be stuck in a world that is motionless, while, to any outside observer, this person will have simply seemed to have disappeared off the face of the Earth, when, in reality, the person will simply be moving far too fast for any outside observer to perceive.
