In a given situation, "pulling a Mike" is when you assess and evaluate all options, figure out the best possible course of action, and then proceed to do the exact opposite. In short, this is to make the most dumbfoundly awful decision that one can make at any given point. A "Mike's"
natural habitat is in any matter involving women, sex, copious amounts of alcohol, or some awkward
combination of all three. Nearly always,
disappointment ensues.
Phil: Man, did you hear about Mike pulling a Mike
the other day at my place?
Noah: Yeah, didn't he drink himself into a stupor and
projectile vomit all over your room or
something?
Phil: He did, and he was also somehow butt-ass naked too. And that's terrible.
