About This Quote
Oblivious means not paying attention to things that are happening around you. In the past, this has been a metaphor for people who are not aware of what is going on around them. However, in this case it’s used as a put-down. People use this phrase to describe someone who is not paying attention and does not know what is going on around him or her.
The person who is called Captain Oblivious may not even realize they need to pay more attention! Here’s an example: “You really are Captain Oblivious. You say you saw the car crash, but you don’t remember seeing it until I told you about it!”
