The bus or the hallway at work, which is not all that bad or uncommon.
I think it also depends on where you live, some places are more used to kits in places like buses, stores, etc.

Emergency Room. I hadn't even gotten on the bike and had a mishap resulting in a good gash on my head and possibly a seizure.

Last fall one of older riders in the club past away, my brother inlaw and I rode to the funeral in our clubs colours. So a funeral house is normally pretty weird but this guy held Canadian track records when younger and his family didn't even bat an eye.

Due to wrong timing, I had to attend my daughter's school dance recital (3rd grade) wearing full kit (club jersey & bibs) and got weird looks from other parents. My bike was in the parking lot in the car.
Have you ever been in weird locations or situations wearing full gear without your bike nearby and felt odd?

I used to be self-conscious about the kit, and I was over it. But now our team kit is like something out of Barnum & Bailey, so I refuse to wear it anywhere.
I laugh when I see grown men wearing softball uniforms in public. They look like pajamas.

I stopped by to see a friend in a hospice hospital several times. They even let me take the bike into the room with me. Got lots of looks but no comments.

Wear anything you want to Walmart as long as it's not your place of employment and it meets the local decency standards so you don't get kicked out or arrested.

Parole hearing... The panel was all...frowning.
So I said, "What? Thought I might like to ride later. That is, if it's alright with you guys..."
Didn't turn out too well.

Strip club.
I had planned on getting home in time to change, but a flat set me back, and I knew my wife would be pissed if I missed her first dance.

Grocery store. I didn't feel outright weird, but I was aware of all the stares. I don't think it's as much the clothing as the clickety-clackety of the shoes and the duck walk.
