Clean It Up

I sometimes get comments from members of the public when working which I find difficult to respond to. Banter type stuff for the most part which probably doesn't require a serious answer. Some examples could be:
"You can come and do mine after if you want?" or "Make sure you don't miss the corners."
What's the appropriate response for this kind of stuff? I usually don't know what to say and just do a fake laugh or chuckle type thing. It happens mostly when doing commercial work more so than residential/domestic. I do a bingo hall for example and it happens fairly often there.
Any advice on good responses appreciated. Also feel free to add any more common questions/slogans that may be thrown the way of us window cleaners by the public that are awkward to deal with.

"you can do mine after"
Me "no probs but it's treble on (Mon/Tues/weds) insert correct day.
"You've missed a bit"
Me "no probs I'll get it next time "
"Make sure you do corners"
Me"why am I supposed to do them too"
"Don't know why your bothering it's raining later"
Me"good wash all my mistakes away"
Anything else f off you nosey f****r

If its "you've missed a bit", i usually smile and say "no ones ever said that to me before". They generally disappear after that.

You’re asking how to talk to people?😄
Just pretend you’re Polish.

Normally have my earphones in. Yes I hear the odd comments but I just ignore them and carry on.
It's funny when you can see their reflection in the glass and they are standing there like a muppet waiting for a response ;D

Just a fake laugh from me.

mate, man up and respond however you want to respond without being aggressive or rude.
"You can come and clean my windows after this"
"No thanks, I'm too busy for that"
"Make sure you don't miss a bit"
"I usually don't but it could be your unlucky day, just kidding (make it a reality if they're being a idiot")
seriously, man the f*** up and don't be weak
