Has anyone ever experienced this? Imagine You are in the interview, one on one, in their office.you feel comfortable, you arrive on time, well dressed. during the interview, the manager gets up and walks out, comes back and says they will "bench" your resume.
Would you ask why they were acting disinterested all of the sudden?
That is rude and I see no reason to ever to conduct an interview in that way. As an HR and hiring manager I've been in circumstances where it's quicly clear the candidate is not a good fit but I'd still respect their time and effort.
Personally I'd thank them for their time and leave. There's nothing to gain by calling them out on it, but I also wouldn't take a job that that interviewer is related to.
I'd keep it polite and professional though, I don't like burning bridges anywhere if I can help it.

WOW! Are you serious? That is very rude and I'd have no problem "burning that bridge". As far as I'm concerned, that's a bridge you would never want to cross in the future.
IMO, I could care less about their rationale.
You dodged a bullet. Could you imagine working for a company that treats their people like this? ...and just at "hello"?
I hope you write a few reviews on this. Glassdoor is your friend.

This is what I'd do. Sorry that happened to you. That is pretty ridiculous!

If they treat you bad at the interview it isn't going to get any better when they hire you. Run and don't look back. I'd even pull the plug mid-interview.
The exception would be if I am dealing with HR as I kind of have low expectations of them and don't necessarily hold it against the whole company.

Oh, I will. HR is the first line of communication for a company and if I have a poor first impression with them, then I'm going to assume (wrongly or not) the entire company is full of incompetent people. It's really no different than calling your cable company up to set up a repair service for a technical issue, and automatically assuming that the technician coming out will also be a jerk off due to the poor customer service I received on the phone.

The interviewer clearly has no conception of professionalism. That was also an immature thing to do, storming out like a child throwing a tantrum because he chose to end the interview. No loss here OP. Imagine dealing with that day to day.
It can be awkward for the interviewer when they decude quickly the candidate is not right for the job, but a simple mention after a short meeting that they are still interviewing and thanking them for coming in is all that's needed.
I've experienced rude interviewers. Although it does not feel good not to be closer to getting a job, the candidate should be thankful not to be working for that company.
