His response wasn't rude, IMO. Sure, he could've just said "Ok, no problem" but he chose not to.
That is beyond rude to me. Way more than mild rudeness. That is straight up being a Richard. Anyone of my friends got that and I'd be "Good thing you dodged that azzhole".

Sweet Like Sugar, just so you know for the future, that statement is rude. Calling someone else rude, is rude. Especially when they were very very borderline rude. Calling someone rude when they were clearly rude is also uncalled for, unless you have to deal with them in the future or they're your children who you are responsible for teaching social graces. THEN it's fine to say "that was rude".

We'll have to agree to disagree. I've had people flake out at the last minute, and I just didn't reply to their "I can't make it" text. But I've also had situations where I've let people know that I don't appreciate them wasting my time, and I don't see what's rude about telling them that.

Um hm. And my guess is, she's considering using this in the future, to cut all the way to the chase and see what kind of guy she's dealing with. If she gets a response after saying she's too tired to drive, "ok, sleep well! I'll text you tomorrow to see if you'd like to get together", the guy's a keeper. Good litmus test.

Just so you know, other people find that rude.
Sometimes it's just good information to know how other people perceive things even if you didn't realize it.
Telling someone that "you don't appreciate them wasting your time" is ruder than someone cancelling plans.

No, the guy who I told about himself actually agreed with me that he was wrong. Not that he cared, but he did agree. I told him that he was too old for his silly behavior and that he needed to grow up, and he said "Can't argue with you there!" lol

That really does not lessen the rudeness factor at all.
