I'm a Catholic, and although I don't really inquire when I see yet another person wearing a religious symbol while going about my daily routines, it wouldn't offend me if a non-Christian wore a cross. The cross that I wear is, to me, more sentimentally tied to a specific event in my spiritual development than to the principles of Christianity as a whole.

One thing that -will- irk us Catholics, though, is when people wear rosaries as jewelry. They're shaped so that it's possible to wear them as a necklace or bangle (and I can even imagine that someone with absolutely no familiarity with them might think they actually were necklaces), but that isn't what they're intended for. They're devotionals meant to be used for a very specific purpose. So if you've seen Christians get irrationaly angry at people wearing what looks like a crucifix, it might have actually been a rosary.
