Reverse Columbo’d

When attempting to leave a location or conversation and someone keeps pulling you back with “ just one more thing”.

Similar to Detective Columbo leaving a suspect, and turning around to say his famous line, but the reverse of that.
Simon: I got reverse columbo’d by my boss today.

Billy: I hate when that happens, you wanna leave but it’s always just one more thing!
