The act of encroachment refers to when someone is invading your space or your zone in an innapropriate way. Encroachment happens on all levels whether it's your older brother dropping game on your girlfriend, or when your roomates friend stays at your house for over a week and drinks all of your soymilk.
Note: When being encroached upon, one can throw a red flag or call a foul in order to identify and prevent any further damage which may be caused.
Man, i'd be way more comfortable chillin at my place if i didn't have multiple dudes there at any given moment. I might have to call them out on their encroachment and tell them to beat it.

When you are sitting on an airplane and the person next to you is taller or fatter so parts of their body start to spread to your seay making you uncomfortable.
The obese woman's thigh was touching mine on the airplane. What a seat encroacher!

I had to put a pillow next to the seat divider because the man's elbow were in my space. I hoped when his elbow touched the pillow he would stop being a seat encroacher. At the very least, he'd be touching the pillow and not me.
