I guess it's primarily Christians (usually, I imagine, of pentacostal or evangelical flavor) who say this. Perhaps they see themselves as having received a blessing when they themselves have a good day or are happy. So they wish the same good day or happiness on someone else.

I don't take offense at it. If someone feels blessed by the fantastic deity of their choice, who am I to be offended at that? :shrug: Long as they don't shove it down my throat -- and believe me, being offered a blessing can't be taken as such. Not from where I sit.
