Dealing with friends who don't include you in plans and then brag about the fun they had

Do you have friends who say, "Oh, you won't like it..don't go." Or don't even include you, period. Then they call you up the next day and tell you how much fun they had. These people are doing this on purpose. So, how should you respond? Quietly make plans with other people and don't include them! Don't make it some kind of a game by calling them up and telling them how great the event was. No, you don't want to stoop to that level. But if they happen to hear about it, all the better. And ultimately, you really don't want anything to do with these types. They do not have your back, and you can't trust them.
