Perhaps the woman in the OP wasn't sure that he was talking to her. Plus, it's unusual to ask a complete stranger how they are in a situation like that. He might have gotten a different response had he just said, "good morning!"
Greeting back is the right thing to do. Everything else is RUDE.
If you have a bad day or pms - that is no excuse IMO. You can just say "HI" and walk away.
I know!
I love how some people use a bad day to excuse taking it out on everyone else.
My dad told me when I was a kid that my bad day isn't anyone else's fault, and I was not to go around spewing it all over innocent people. He said it was especially unprofessional at work. Words to live by.
I don't understand this at all and to be truly honest, in my experience it has happened more times with women than men.
I went downstairs to our break room where a beautiful young women was at the drink machine. I smile and greet her by saying "Hey, how are you?". What does she do? Looks at me and then walks away. I wanted to ask her if she spoke english but decided that wouldn't have been a good idea.
When someone greets you, do you greet them back? Why wouldn't you greet someone back?
Yes, this has happened to me too! And I've noticed that it happens more in bigger cities. I always greet people back when they greet me. Why would I not?

She probably thinks that you were going to hit on her and she felt too good looking to say anything back.
These responses remind me of what happened to me yesterday.
I saw a next door neighbor who is male for the first time coming out of his apartment as I was going into mine. I smiled and said a simple "hello."
He gave me a dirty look and walked away.

"Hi, how are you" is a standard greeting. It's not unusual at all. And the woman and the OP were the only two people in the room. Who else would he have been talking to? I've seen people do this. Someone who's been invited to an event introduces him/herself to the event organizer and holds out their hand to shake hands, and the head honcho just turns around and walks away silently, leaving the guest's hand extended. People who have high opinions of themselves don't care if they're rude.
