What I hate worse than people who point out obvious things--which you can always choose to ignore or grunt at, is people who ask stupid questions.
Halloween was on a Tuesday this year, so a bunch of my friends and I all celebrated the Sunday night prior. We all walked into a restaurant, dressed as pirates, and had people asking us all night, "Oh, wow, are those Halloween costumes?".
Thus requiring us to answer, and bite back our sarcastic "Oh, holy--I completely forgot Halloween was coming up! What do you think we should dress up as?" and instead smiling and saying yes.
Halloween is only one night a year, though. I think I would hate it more if I was missing an arm...I might wish I'd kept it, so I could beat people over the head with it.

Fire back with something equally as obvious. Like if you have your shoes off and someone says "Dude, you aren't wearing any shoes." Say something like "Oh yeah, here's another shocker: Malcom X was black!" or "Really? Wow. Hey, did you know that cars run on gasoline?" or my personal favorite that you may or may not be able to use: "Is that so? Well you aren't gonna believe this, but I like Vodka!"
Or you can go the Bill Engvall route. This basically states that stupid people should wear signs that say that they are stupid. For example, someone sees you have grocery bags and says "You been grocery shopping?" you could say "Nope, I went to my storage unit and Santa had left this stuff there from last Christmas." This method is only 100% complete if you follow any snappy comeback with the phrase: "Here's your sign."

My arm is missing? Dang, I thought I brought that thing w/me.
Maybe I left it in the car, can you give me a hand with it?
Hey your not wearing any shoes! And your point is?
I know I am not wearing any shoes, do you know your not wearing your thinking cap?
I don't put much value into what others say when it is obvious or just plain stupid.
What I do pay attention to is when they think they have pulled a fast one on me and I already knew it, then I lie in wait. Like the dog in the bushes....... you'll ride by on your bike later.

Yeah, I had someone do that today actually. It does piss ya off.
HM.. For your comebacks, I would say that those people are really mean to say that to you in the first place, at least about your arm. It is hard to believe that someone would say that.
Ok, so maybe you are joking...
Anyway, in jest or not, I would say for the arm one--Well, I guess we know that you are not blind or maybe you could say that your dick is long enough to replace it ( if you are male :). For the shoe one,... I would say Yeah ( with that duh kinda tone) and just go on about your business or conversation. Not sure this helped, but I know that people can be frustrating and it is fun to throw crap back at them.

Just do what you do with other retards: smile and nod. You have to be patient with people who are obviously morons. Especially those who 'have all the answers' and who just assume that you're clueless to the obvious. You could create a pity story to tell idiots who do this. You might be able to con some cash off of them!

You could simply reply with sarcastic wit..oh really I didn't notice I was missing arm, I wonder how that happened. Something that would make them realize that you were aware and they are retarded for pointing it out.

When people say, "You got a haircut!" I respond with, "No, it just shrank when I showered this morning."
When I got my eyebrow pierced and people would say, "You got your eyebrow pierced!," I was always tempted to answer with, "No, industrial accident. I don't want to talk about it."
Your arm is missing--I would probably say, "No, I know exactly where it is."
Shoes: I would probably say that no shoes are better than bad shoes.... *in a hinting way*
