When this has happened, not very often, I try to be kind in my responses. The only reason is that I don't want to get the rep of being that guy who always gets confrontational about small matters. At the same time I understand that when people say things like this it is sometimes because they wish to exercise some measure of control over the things in their environment and that they might actually get kind of a rush if I chose to comply. I get the feeling that they do this because their is so much in their own lives that is out of control that they see something that doesn't affect them in any way and it isn't so much a question of whether or not they like what they see as it is that they want to exercise some control over it. If the person they are commenting upon complies with their request they might actually regain a feeling of things being somewhat under control and they get to breathe a small sigh of relief even though the "issue" means nothing and nothing in their own lives has really changed.
