pulling a john bates
When you look someone straight in the eye and ask the dumbest question possible as if you are sincere with your question knowing damn well the answer.
Going to the loan officer at the bank and telling them you have a 400 credit score with multiple chargeoffs, no job or income and you live on your friends couch and absolutely no way of making the loan payments and then asking if you could qualify for a $400,000 unsecured credit line with the lowest interest rate. The loan officer looks you straight in the eye and asks you if you are "pulling a John Bates" on me?
john bates
That one football coach who knows it all, four-eyed little prick who always acts like it's his way or the high way in order to hide the fact that's he's never had a date in his life. All around your typically douchebag.
That guy is acting like a real John Bates, what a dick!
