Get the Negative Listenermug. 1.One that gets their ear talked off by a subject that they could care less about, therefore, they pretend to listen by using certain words that make it sound like they're listening but in fact they are not paying attention at all.
2.Someone who spends their life in their own little world and just grasps one or two words from a conversation to throw back so people actually think they were listening. They actually have no idea what anyone was talking about nor do they care.

Get the designated listenermug. to play a song once, before immediately starting it again once you have finished, similar to the way that people chain smoke. can turn amazing songs into an irritating occurrence.

Get the Chain Listeningmug. when you tell someone something, they acknowledge they hear you, and don’t do it or do the opposite. it’s not that they don’t care or hate you, you just can’t get your point across to them so you have to dumb it down.
