I'm going to guess the answer to that is no. That would be incredibly creepy.
I'm all for folk walking up and entering a scene at will, but characterizing asking for permission as creepy is a bit disingenuous. This isn't real life; this is roleplay. It's not unusual for someone to ask if it's alright if they enter a scene - just as it shouldn't be unusual for someone to simply enter a scene without asking.
More often than not, if I see folks roleplaying and want to take part in it, I'll just find a way to get my character involved and let whatever happens happen. Sometimes, though, if the scene seems particularly intense (especially if said intense RP is happening in a place that isn't a crowded, public area like a city or a tavern or something), I may send an OOC whisper asking if it's alright if I involve myself.
