Got outed at a coffee shop for using a burner phone

I was sitting at Blue Bottle in Brooklyn last Tuesday sipping a latte and this guy next to me leans over and goes 'nice burner, are you a drug dealer or just paranoid?' He said it loud enough that the barista heard and gave me this look. I laughed it off but now I feel weird bringing my cheap prepaid Nokia anywhere public. Has your burner ever gotten you side-eyed in a weird spot?

That guy had no business calling you out like that. People need to mind their own damn business, a burner phone doesn't mean you're doing anything shady. I use a cheap flip phone sometimes just to avoid distractions, but now I'd think twice about pulling it out in a crowded shop. Honestly though, the barista probably forgot about you five minutes later. Just use your phone and ignore the haters.

Flip that around next time and ask if they're profiling you for a crime.

@finleyl39 has a point but honestly that guy was probably just trying to make conversation and failed miserably.
