2--Hey, do you have any plans for the weekend?
 
1--Well, I did have plans to go hiking.
 
2--But, my friend asked me to cat-sit, so I guess I'm just staying around town.
 
1--Aren't you allergic to cats? How did you get roped into that?
 
2--I don't know. I just can't say no to this friend!
 
1--To "get roped into" something means to be persuaded to do something.
 
2--Often something you do not really want to do.

2--The use of the word "rope" probably comes from cowboys, who use a lasso to rope young cows while riding a horse.
