Someone I don't know, "Had worse days, I can't complain"

Someone I know well, "Bad. Thanks for reminding me, dick."

Someone I never want to talk to again, "I've got so much going on in my life right now, can I call you later? I really need someone to talk to for a few hours" sarcastically


Eta: Generally respond to people at work with a comment about the day of the week.

I hear what you are saying. The reality is that 95% don't care about your problems and the other 5% are glad you have them.

Why don't you just say "not too bad" and go on with your day? If you're not dead, it's never too bad

I like to ask people how they're doing then walk away before they can respond.

Why ask me a question and then tell me the acceptable answer?

That makes you a patronizing prick

"Worse than some, better than most" is usually what I go with.
