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!
