I always thought it was like "being a dick to me," with a connotation of not taking me or our interactions seriously. If (hypothetical situation here) my boss told me he really liked my work one day, and then casually hinted the next day that if I worked more overtime I'd be in line for a raise, and the next week, after I'd been pulling twelve-hour shifts for a few days, announced that they were making major cutbacks and no one would be getting a raise this year, that would be dicking with me -- basically fucking me over, but more out of selfishness and thoughtlessness than outright malice.
