People are inquisitive

By analogy: a person is curious to know what his friend, who works in the same field, is doing.

(Rabbi Elazar ben Pila said: Why does Rabbi Akiva declare it impure? Because women are gluttonous— a woman uncovers the pot to know what her friend is cooking. - Tosefta, Tractate Taharot (Zuckermandel), Chapter 8, 16)
