pull a rider

To insist for multiple days leading up to an event that you will be attending and then bail at the last minute via text message.

For the last three days James has been telling me he was going to come to the party. I knew he was going to pull a rider when I saw I had an unread text message this afternoon. Of course, the message said he couldn't make it.

Pulling a Diego

When someone decides to ask out their ex and ultimately fails. Only works on those who were broken up with, not those who broke up with someone else.

"Remember when (insert moment from time together)? Those were good times. I kinda miss that."
"Are you asking me out? Stop pulling a Diego."

Pull a Cutler

To quit something when the going gets tough. You can do this by faking an injury or coming up with some pathetic excuse to pansy out of a crucial moment in your career.
