j luo - You pull something with all your might. Then you stare at it

You pull something with all your might. Then you stare at it like it personally insulted you.

I pulled that handle like it owed me money. It just creaked and said 'no'.

I yanked that shirt like it was my enemy. It just hung there, mocking me.

I pulled that string like it was a dare. It just flopped down and said 'whatever'.
