I usually warmly thank anyone who blesses me and wish them the same. I'm agnostic, but I don't think that counting ones blessings or wishing well for others (even if they are hoping for divine wellness) is a bad or obnoxious thing.
I used to preach over obnoxious street preachers, but now if they are really bothering me I listen for a minute and try to strike up a conversation. That generally goes not so well. I have read enough theology to bother them, they know enough bible to fall back on oneliners and avoid honest communication. If I heard the bus lady I would probably ask her why she is trying to scare everyone away from the god she believes in.
