The good news is that rudeness isn't required. If it's not rude to WANT to be left alone (and I'm getting the distinct feeling that most here don't feel it's rude to WANT to be left alone--nor even to give non-verbal clues that they want to be left alone), then why on earth would it be rude to politely convey that same desire to be left alone verbally? That makes no sense.
It's somehow more polite to feign interest while silently seething at someone who didn't pick up on your hints?
