2)Inviting someone over and then either
a)spending a long time on the phone with some dude while you play with her yellow lab in the kitchen.
OR
b)falling asleep while you watch a Rob Schneider movie.
1)Yeah she said she'd be here in ten minutes... 45 minutes ago. She's totally pulling a Martha.
2a)All of a sudden I realized, "dang, I've been playing with this dog for a long time, where'd she go?" then I found her talking on the phone with a guy she met once three months ago. Such a classic Martha move.
2b) I was laughing at Rob Schneider when I realized the other side of the room was silent. She was pulling a Martha for sure.
To pull a Marta means to leave someone on read for 10+ hours while leaving the other person in total dispair. The term had it's origin in a romanticcontext but is also commonly used among friends.
exemple of "to pull a Marta" in a conversation:
person 1: wow I'm so sorry, i overslept and forgot to reply to you...
person 2: yeah and you left me on read, you pulled a Marta on me, how dare you!
Pulling a Mantha is to completely, entirely, and wholly disregard what the previous person said. AKA the most agitating thing a person can do.
Person: "Hey, are you going to do that?"
Mantha Puller: "Look at this picture of my little sister humping a cat!"
Person: "Oh, that's nice. But are you going?"
Mantha Puller: "Well... LOOK AT THIS PICTURE OF MY BROTHER'S BUTT CLEAVAGE!"
Person: "Thanks for pulling a Mantha."
Mantha Puller: "How did I do that?"
