On one hand, Ruby is pure-hearted and simple-minded so she tends to just want to be friends with everyone, yet another element of that personality is that she is impulsive and does not realize how her actions affect others until it is made clear to her by someone else. Her grabbing a binder belong to a Weiss is definitely a gag, but it is also typical of her character type to just steal someone's stuff, mess with it, and then blow it off like it is no big deal. Just look at basically every scene with her since the beginning.

Weiss on the other hand is far too proud to admit to any "weaker" feelings even though, in my opinion, she is a weaker and more fragile person emotionally than the rest of them. I imagine Weiss gave up on trying to change Ruby's ways some time ago and has basically come to accept that Ruby is sometimes going to show a cavalier disregard for personal boundaries and eqtiquette. Again, this is because Weiss is a doormat. If Ruby tried to pull half the stuff on Yang and Blake that she has pulled on Weiss, well, they would not just let her get away with it. I full argee with the opinion that Ruby can be impulsives sometimes.However in this instance there no signs that Weeks was hurt by her actions. I mean that the end of the episode she is see laughing along with the rest of her team.Not to meationShe very willing engaged in a 'friendly' food fight with Ruby.No content with someone whose feeling where hurt.
