I call it 'retroactive volunteerism'

A good use would be if during a conversation you find your interlocutor has recently moved.
Your response would be along these lines: 'You should have called me, I would have loved to help'

The idea is - you get the credit without actually having to do anything.

I use it whenever the circumstance presents itself.

Every family dinner, I offer to help clear off the table
