Ghost-listening 

Also, pseudo-listening.
When you're talking to someone and you really just want them to finish, either to say something yourself or to get away from them, so you don't really listen, but "as the person is talking, your audible memory catches everything and some of it probably slips through, but your conscious mind dismisses it like a ghost."
A: "And then he goes to-"
B: "Yup"
A: "... his car and then-"
B: "Uh-huh"
A: "Are you ghost-listening me?"
B: "Huh"
A: "..."
B: "interesting"

Reactive Listening 

The art of trying to appear to be listening to someone, but just reacting to the last thing they said in an agreeing manner.
I was talking to my buddy Bob about my daily grind with work, and my wife making a big deal about the "hassle" taking our daughter to Disney Land.

He replied with "Yeah, Disney Land can be pretty stressful." ... He totally missed my point, typical Reactive Listening!
