Usually, when they rub on you, they are scent marking you.

My cat does that sort of thing all the time. Except for the bag-licking part. Half the time, I can't figure out what she wants, either, except maybe to go outside.

She may even sit on my lap. But, I think they know it annoys you, and they just want to be annoying.
