I don't think this is the case, but I can see how it's an appealing interpretation. I do experience a brief moment of annoyance, but it feels more like an annoyance that we lost an opportunity to reminisce and re-connect over a mutual friend. The call and response of "did you see this?" and "Yes." stops the conversation more than if they respond with "no", and we can relate over a story.
