Whether you are upset or not depends on the circumstance:
Dropped from a "no drop" ride- that's annoying
Dropped by a few friends putting together a casual ride- that's annoying
Dropped because one guy decides he can't contain himself on the Monday night easy ride and all the other guys chase- that's annoying
Dropped from Tuesday Night Worlds- not annoying
Fall back from the A group to the B group on the big Saturday ride- not annoying
Can't keep up with the epic endurance ride and ask people to please go on without you, you'll limp it home- not annoying
And definitely the circumstance you describe- invited on a ride, not your route, don't know where you are, get dropped- annoying
