Bob is trying to pass a clue or message on to Alice, but in a way that won't be too conspicuous. Perhaps he's talking in Igpay Atinlay, maybe he's leaning his head or eyes in the direction he wants Alice to look, he could even be winking. This may be a Quiet Cry for Help. Whatever it is, Alice is completely oblivious to this, or she thinks Bob is trying to say something else. Sometimes, Bob will get so fed up with Alice's cluelessness that he'll finally decide "To hell with it," and shout the message, such as "TURN AROUND AND LOOK BEHIND YOU!" Other things may occur as well. This can also be a character trait where a person is oblivious to any amount of Hint Dropping. The more annoying ones will misunderstand every attempt or interpret it as the opposite. In a particularly bad case, you can't get it through them even if you spell it out for them or shout it in their face, and don't even bother with subtlety anymore. They might also be immune to criticism via Insult Backfire. Related to I Do Not Speak Non Verbal (and occasionally, Non-Verbal Miscommunication). Contrast Selective Obliviousness, where the message is deliberately ignored rather than accidentally missed or misunderstood. Characters who tend to suffer from this: Clingy Jealous Girl — when you tell them that She Is Not My Girlfriend The Thing That Would Not Leave — when you tell it to Get Out! The Cat Came Back — when you tell it that it's giving you Unwanted Assistance |

Advice and Trust: After kissing for the first time, Asuka asks Shinji why he had never responded to any of her advances favorably if he liked her. Dismayed, she learns that Shinji was completely oblivious to her hints. In chapter 2: | |

There are many of these in The Simpsons, usually courtesy of Homer: One of the best known is in "Bart Carny" when Homer and Bart are working the ringtoss booth at the carnival. Wiggum notices it's rigged, tries to get Homer to bribe him, (Bart, of course, gets it immediately) but after three fruitless tries (one of which includes mentioning his friend "Mr. Bribe"), Wiggum decides "screw this", and shuts the booth down. Later in the episode, Wiggum refuses to help the Simpson family when the owners of that booth took over their house. Homer still doesn't get it. In the episode "Cape Feare", the Simpson family is to be put in the Witness Protection Program so as to avoid Bart getting killed by Sideshow Bob. Two FBI agents discuss the family's new identity, and Homer is completely oblivious to the name change. Sometime later, they are still unable to convince him to acknowledge his new identity. Can be viewed here. In "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?", Homer finds out that he has a half-brother who was given up for adoption when he was still little. When he goes to the Shelbyville Orphanage to try and find out where his brother went, the orphanage director tries to help via Could Say It, But... ("You know, Mr. Simpson, if you ask me, the city of brotherly love isn't Philadelphia, it's Detroit."). But of course, Homer's too thick-headed and blind with the obsession to not lose his lead to take the hint and eventually the director gets so frustrated that he outright says that Homer's brother is named Herb Powell and lives in Detroit. |

In the Looney Tunes cartoon Don't Axe Me, Elmer Fudd's wife is having someone over for dinner and can't decide what to make. The dog, through pantomime, suggests roast duck (Daffy Duck, that is, whom the dog can't stand). But Mrs. Fudd keeps getting the cues wrong, and the dog finally snaps and outright YELLS at his mistress in exasperation, "NO! Roast D-U-C-K, duck! Sheesh!" | |

In Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide, Asuka's mental instability is partially owing to Shinji being incapable of noticing that she is constantly hinting that she likes him. After she wakes up from a coma, Shinji slowly gets better at noticing when she was dropping a hint. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Shinji Ikari and Asuka Langley Sohryu like each other but both were too socially inept and frightened of other people to display their own feelings straightforwardly and realize each other's. Thus, Shinji always misses the constant hints dropped by Asuka (to be fair, he is clueless and oblivious but her hints might have been clearer), involuntarily making her feeling more worthless and getting her angrier. | |

Sierra Petrovita from Fallout 3. She is pretty naïve and is blind to the fact that her neighbor, Ronald Laren, is constantly hinting that he wants to have sex with her, and the Player Character can even tell her outright that Ronald "only wants to get in her pants", to which she responds: "Who would wanna wear an old pair of women's pants?" | |

Aggretsuko: Resasuke is completely incapable of understanding indirect communication. When Retsuko points out they've been walking a lot and asks if he wants to eat, instead of realizing she's tired and wants to take a break, he just says he's not tired and keeps walking with her. It's eventually made clear that this is one reason why he and Retsuko are ultimately incompatible with one another; Resasuke is never able to pick up on any hints Retsuko gives him that she's being worn down by their outings, and Retsuko is unwilling to confront him about it directly. | |

Noob has a case in which the message isn't cryptic nor meant for the character, but the character is still lousy at picking up hints. Season 1 finale had the Noob guild discover that their dismal healer (Sparadrap) has a younger brother who actually knows how to play when he briefly takes over the avatar while the usual player is in the bathroom. In an early Season 2 episode, one of the guild's (other) members doesn't pick up on an elite player being Sparadrap's younger brother despite being present for a conversation that basically goes like this : | |

Scarlet Lady: Chloé repeatedly proves to be utterly oblivious to any and all indications that her bratty, selfish and possessive behavior is driving a wedge between her and Adrien. Despite the fact that he tells her outright on his first day at Francoise Dupont that he'll stop being friends with her if she keeps bullying others, as well as getting increasingly overt with his rejections of her unwanted advances. Illustrated especially well by the school picture incident. When Chloé traps Juleka in the bathroom so that she can steal her spot next to Adrien, he grows so frustrated by her glomming to his arm and ignoring everyone's complaints that he hits his Rage-Breaking Point and physically shoves her away, right as their picture is taken. Despite the resulting photo capturing the moment of him violently rejecting her, Chloé insists that it's a perfect snapshot of their relationship... something that is technically true, but she refuses to see just how broken their bond is. Most of Chat Noir's snarky and sarcastic observations about how much of a burden his nominal partner is tend to fly right over Scarlet Lady's head, as well. |

In Fantasy of Utter Ridiculousness, Patchouli is completely unaware that Jamie isn't talking with her solely to pass the time. All of Koakuma's attempts to spell it out for her fail miserably. | |

Alex of Captain SNES: The Game Masta discovers, to his dismay, that everyone around him is varying degrees of Oblivious to Hints when he tries to get them to leave so he can deal with the Sinastrals without posing a risk to anyone else. Molly is the most oblivious, to the point of standing there confused when Alex passes her a note telling her to run. And Boogerman ultimately figures out the message, but instead of doing what Alex wants, he simply announces, loudly, to everyone present (including the Sinistrals) what the message is and patting himself on the back for figuring it out. | |

A Crown of Stars: At the beginning of the story Shinji finally finds out that Asuka had been constantly dropping hints, and he missed every one of them. Several characters also inform Asuka that Shinji had not responded to any of her hints because he was oblivious, not because he was uninterested. | |

You Are (Not) At Fault: Discussed. Asuka got upset every time Shinji missed -or seemed to dismiss- her hints, but after coming back from the dead she starts considering maybe he noticed but he did not know how to react. | |

On an episode of The Sopranos, Robert Wegler, a school official Carmela is having an affair with, calls her for sexy talk when Tony is standing a few feet away in the kitchen. He ignores some pretty obvious brush-off attempts on her part. | |

Subverted in The Second Try. Hikari thinks that Shinji is oblivious to all hints dropped by Asuka, but he's only pretending to not see them because no one can know that he and Asuka got together. | |

In Fire and Hemlock, Tom desperately tries to make Polly understand that he is in danger of being made a human sacrifice, and she can save him by clinging to him (as a friend) for nine years. He sends her fairytale books and everything, but she fails to notice it. Justified in that she's a child for most of the narrative, and the hints are very subtle. | |
