Pulled a Gandalf

Making sure someone will not succeed or pass.

My teacher pulled a Gandalf today when he gave out a quiz that I surely "shall not pass".

The car in the other lane next to me pulled a Gandalf for about 2 miles. He made sure I wouldn't be able to pass.

Bob: Damn, that girl at the end of the bar is looking fine, I think I'm going to try and make a pass at her.
Charles: No way man, she pulled a Gandalf already on 3 other guys who tried me make a pass at her tonight.

Question: Why didn't the chicken cross the road?
Answer: Gandalf

Pull a Gandalf

To listen to someone completely wrong without feeling the need to argue or correct them. From "Unfinshed Tales", when Gandalf replies to Saruman's coding about not weighing in on the fate of the One Ring: "it gives patience to listen to error without anger'

"I hear what you are saying, I'm going to pull a Gandalf. See you tomorrow"
