Human nature - just the same as being told "don't touch the big red button that says 'Danger, Do Not Touch'" then you saying "what, this big red button?" as you press it!
Could be related to reverse psychology I suppose!

I guess it's like an underlying invitation to experience what the other person has experienced. It usually makes for a humorous conversation.
*a dialogue between my teenage brother and his friend*
"Oh god! This smells...*cough*...awful."
"Dude, let me.....AWW! Dude!"

Is this not perhaps an offshoot of thought process that when we were very tiny and our mummy said something like "don't do that" we would immediately "do that"?

We don't like being told what is what. If we think something is a threat, we have to prove it for ourselves.

That is what makes being human so great. We are incredibly curious.
