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.

A NON-LISTENER is simply a selfish twat who utterly refuses to listen to ANYONE, even their own children, family, friends, etc. Incredibly selfish in their existence, they will blow off even the most caring and appreciative folks in their life. Also commonly found to abuse alcohol, which exacerbates their monumental NON-LISTENING. They can usually HEAR you, but do not LISTEN.

Also refers to children who do not LISTEN properly and pay attention. In most cases, it has been found that NON-LISTENER children do not LISTEN because their parents DO NOT LISTEN.
"That piss-drunk cock is a real and genuine NON-LISTENER."

"Motherfucker won't even listen to his own son on the phone, total non-listener."

"That little peckerhead doesn't listen because his parents do not listen. Non-listener!"
