AITA for yelling my good morning when ignored the first time?

I live with my roommate and my roommate’s girlfriend.

At this point, the girlfriend could probably be considered a roommate as well.

She wasn’t on the agreement originally, but she does pay and has been living here for a year now.

Admittedly, things haven’t been going the greatest lately, and I am currently saving up to move out.

This woman would ask them questions, but they wouldn’t respond.

Lately, they’ve been in the habit of just randomly ignoring me when I’m talking to them.

It started with them ignoring simple questions of: “Where are you guys going?”

I get that it can sound interrogatory, but mostly, I’m wondering in case something happens.

But sometimes, they do this with minor greetings, too.

She greeted her roommate’s girlfriend with good morning.

This morning was an example of that.

I had told my roommate’s girlfriend, “Good morning!”

And she just refused to even look up and continued what she was doing.

I figured she was just too tired to talk, but when my roommate came down, she started asking her full questions.

She greeted her again, but this time with a louder voice.

This might be where I’m the jerk.

I said much louder, “Good morning, (her name)!” and I finally got a response.

In the car later my roommate told me, “That was a really rude thing to do.”

I responded, “So was ignoring my good morning.”

To which she responded, “We don’t owe you that!”

So, AITA? And if so, should I care that I am?

Which roommate was being rude?
