pulling a Joe

usually referring to a guy that just recently got rejected, where the man who got rejected makes it worse than it actually is, complains to everyone, and takes it out on those that tried to help him out of his depression.

Tim: yo what's up with Adam? he's been a real dick to me recently.

Ben: Madeline just told him they couldn't be anything more than friends... he's just pulling a Joe. He'll be fine.

Tim: That sucks... I still think he's being a dick.
