Sometime ago, a bro spoke of his failed relationship. He said, "Everybody can possibly fail you, no matter how much promises, affections, emotions, time, commitment given to u. Only Jesus will not fail you." Oh I am not telling you to boycott your friends, family, spouse or your colleagues. As Dorlisa said,"God sanctions and want us to have blissful relationships such as friendship, kinship and marriage."
I have commited hypocrisy throughout my 26 years old of life (I am still a mortal, not perfect, and i do sin daily.) For e.g., during NS, everyone in my unit curry-favored to our tempermental childish & emo officer. I did it too because failure to do so, means you are more likely to get that extra duty, that less chances of getting your ORD leave approved etc etc.
Sure i encountered my share of hypocrisy commited on me. For e.g, some friends never ever bothers to initiate a chat online, or sms/call me; but they do so when they need help. Or when they were actively seeking my advice on a matter, but then decide not to tell you their final decision. Or worse, after digesting your good advice and benefiting, your friend disappears. The worst one can swallow is when you think the other party truly enjoys chatting with you online or offline; only to discover at the end, this other party confesses in other channels (e.g. his/her own blog, forums, or chats with your other mutual friends) that in fact they hated talking to me; but didnt want to sound unpleased. That's hypocrisy at its best?. Before you think of berating me, I admit that i commited some of these "atrocities of hypocrisy" too. No one is perfect except for Jesus for we still have the flesh in ourselves.

That last instance you described may be hypocrisy or politeness and grace, depending on how you see it. Would you be the judge and say that it's the former? Remember, you are mortal too.
