To pull a Davis is to make a mistake or mess up at work, after which a bell or alarm is rung (Davis Bell). When someone pulls a Davis, it can be as simple as forgetting how to turn off a machine that is used every day. It can also be more serious such as testing the wrong sample creating more work for co-workers, and in some cases slowing production.
