hauled around

Carried from place

To haul someone around is to drag or transport them from place to place, often with a sense of inconvenience or roughness: I hauled the kids around to three different stores.

It can also mean to physically manhandle someone: The bouncer hauled him around by the collar.

Being hauled around suggests passive subjection to another's control or schedule.
