Friends calling and saying "what are you doing?" is rude, even if it's innocent and unintentional. I've really tried to break myself of that habit. I have no right to demand explanations of someone else's time. I can simply ask "Would you like to do ABC?" or even "Are you busy?" is better.
It seems like not a big deal, but I've seen them field calls and then the other party invites themselves to join.

And similarly, "Do you want to ride the go karts?" and the answer is "no", "No" is a complete sentence. You do not have to explain why or what you are doing instead.
"No thanks, but thank you for inviting me" is sufficient, and not rude.

@billyjoebowers I've always answered the question "what are you doing?" with "Why are you asking?"
