Not listening to important things that you should be hearing in order for you to maintain a non-damaging-to-yourself-and/or-others status.
Ethan Couch's father foolishly close to just arbitrarily cater to his spoiled-rotten son's whiny blubbering instead of listening to reason when it came to following the local school's guidelines; he was so earresponsible, in fact, that he actually offered to buy the entire school just so that its officials would then have to treat his "little prince" in the preferentially-coddling fashion that he desired, rather than just being given the same ordinary respect and expectations that all of his fellow students were being issued.
