get roped into something
Richard: I'm going camping in the mountains this weekend, but I don't really want to.
John: So why are you going?
Richard: Some of my old college friends planned the trip, and they roped me into it.
Explanation: When we say that someone has been "roped into" doing something, it means that someone pressured or influenced them to go somewhere or to help with an event. It is like a cowboy throwing a rope around a cow and pulling it into a corral.
