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?

piggyback birthday greeting

A piggyback birthday greeting is when someone wishes you a Happy Birthday on social media such as Facebook and another person leaves a Happy Birthday reply to that person's greeting (usually no relation or association to the person that made the original greeting) which to is the digital equivalent of signing someone else's physical birthday card who has no relation to you and you not getting your own card. It also throws off the birthday greeting count that Facebook provides.
I can't believe how many people don't know how to click on the Happy Birthday link on Facebook...they just leave a piggyback birthday greeting on someone's else's greeting that they have no relationship with. That's like signing someone else's birthday card!
