Hearing the birds

Being so obsessed or engaged in a certain activity that you stay up all night, only being jolted back to reality when you hear the singing of the morning birds outside.

He played COD so long he started hearing the birds.

They were making out all night until they started hearing the birds.

Selective hearing

Selective hearing is a bit like WHEN UR DUMB ASS PARENTS call ur name and u say what and they don't say anything till u go to them.

Parent:"Jimmy!! "
Jimmy:what!!

*silence*
Jimmy:WHAT MOM/DAD!!

*Silence again
(This is literally selective hearing)

Selective Hearing

The act of listening to only the things a person wants to hear. This can lead to a complete topic change.

Matt: Yo are you watching this Rockies game? It's nuts!

Ben: uhh. I don't think this long distance relationship is going to work out.

Matt: (thinking to himself) Damn. That's some crazy selective hearing if I ever saw it.
