When I got on the bus, I didn't see my friend and didn't say hello to her. I was chatting with my co-worker about my plan to go to the CN Tower that night with my friend from Europe.
My friend heard my conversation with my co-worker and told me in an email about it.
She had the opportunity to look up from her paper and say hello to us. I was waiting for her to look up from her paper and to say hello to us. But she never did because she appeared to be reading and I was distracted with chatting with my co-worker.
I thought she didn't realize that I was there. It was crowded and load on the bus. But she did realize I was there.
She heard my conversation and listened on it. Why did she eavesdrop on me and not say something?
But

Okay, basically, is it polite to eavesdrop on people?

Is it polite. Of course not, I think you already know that.
Do we all do it at times, I would say probably.
If she is your friend she probably had some simple reason like not wanting to talk in front of your co-worker, or she thought you were the one not saying hello. Could be lots of reasons.
I wouldn't make a big deal of it or you may lose a friend over nothing.
