Ha, this is cool! Now a word for that thing people do where they intentionally impose on each other. Like I’ve noticed that for no particular reason sometimes in our friend group we’ll do things like eat from someone else’s plate instead of going to get more, or ask someone to pick something up or pour you water. Or like when girls ask to go out somewhere but won’t really say where and all that.

Almost always seems to result in greater intimacy used in that manner.

What’s interesting is the fact that this is the same channel used abusively. I think I’ve seen that in action but not connected it as the same thing because the results are qualitatively different.
