Well I do think it’s rude but I would also understand if they were busy or had some reason for not wanting to see me (i.e. started dating someone else and didn’t want to hang out any more) that I would understand if they had said <5 words to me, then I don’t feel like I should really get too much more offended than I would be if I pretended I’d heard the words.
Anyway I agree that that is a rude habit to be in, and that the illusion of transparency can make it destructively hurtful.
