The other time a guy got his shirt caught over the grip of an IWB system when he was removing a sweatshirt at a restaurant, and I was probably the only one who even noticed.

I'm much more concerned about casual acquaintances and friends slapping or hugging me like Slims mentioned.
People are absolutely oblivious. Unless they're carrying or are familiar with it, it won't cross their mind that the bulge might be a gun rather than a cell phone or wallet. You could probably sling a rifle over your shoulder and most wouldn't notice.
