She is so self-absorbed and hopelessly wrapped in her own petty drama that she can't notice or appreciate the small things in life.
For instance. I live right outside of DC in a pretty urbanized area. We were driving and she was totally consumed with some petty drama on her Facebook. She was going on and on about how one of her friends didn't like one her post and what it really means.
When all of a sudden a bald eagle comes flying towards us.
" Honey, look a bald eagle!!"
"... uh-huh" ( continues to jabber about petty drama)
"Honey, look quick!"
..she ignores me and continues with her drama whining
"Honey, quick, you're going to miss it!"
"What??!?! I see it, ugh!!" As she doesn't even bother to look up from her phone.
Now replace eagle with beautiful sunset, interesting architecture, huge megaship, military escort, gorgeous scenery or anything special or unique and she just can't be bothered by anything in the world unless it's directly related to her.
