One who pretends to act like they are listening to what you are saying to them while they are actually just thinking of a response. These bastards have to follow every single clause that comes out of your mouth with something to the effect of: "Oh Yeah?" "Ahhhhhh" "Oh Alright" "I see" or one from the plethora of others.
I am really sick of the active listeners in this office. He knows exactly what you mean before you even say it... apparently.

Get the active listenermug. Someone who, often accidentally, secretly listens to another person taking doing a turd.
Running a tap whilst doing a turd is a good way to avoid secret listeners.

John: “I need a turd, but I’m worried there might be secret listeners”
Peter: “I understand your concerns, have you thought about running a tap?”

Get the Listen to Hymmug. When someone should be listening to what you are saying but they are mentally too busy thinking of what they want to say or are interrupting you to get their point across or jump ahead of you telling the story because they can't wait for you to finish. This causes them to ask a question about the thing you are talking about before you are able to get it out or ask about something you said but they missed because they aren't really listening. As opposed to an active listener who is genuinely interested in hearing what you are trying to tell them regarding an incident or a story or information.
You: So I told her don't be all up in my business because. ..
Them: So she left or stayed or what?
You: I'm trying to tell you what happened. Don't be such a passive listener.
