I agree that it is rude. As for unacceptable, it would depend on people and circumstances. For instance, if it is the same people, same pattern, or people only know you when they need you, then that speaks volumes and yes, it is unacceptable. IF it is a one-off or a behaviour that is unusual from someone, that would be different.

Yeah, it's a pattern with some people. What do you mean by unawareness?

And that doesn't take into consideration distractions...
So, poor self-management and poor communication skills?

With my bf some of it could be self-management and communication skills. For example when he's stayed up for two days and then slept really long (sometimes this does happen). And he's not the most empathetic communicative person. But I somehow don't think that's all of it. It kinda feels like some kind of manipulation of expectations, like he hopes that if he decides to just not answer, even if I repeatedly ask, then I'll just give up or something. But it can't be just this either. Pretty sure some of it was passive aggressive too before. It has to be a mix of things really.

No, no actual blocking.
