Well, the implied ethnicity of the poster is non-Indian, so in addition to the embarrassment of having to spell out obscene words, there's the cultural gap as well. The poster can't judge how offended the call center worker was, and probably feels like he's poorly representing his culture. I've had many similar experiences, especially since I've been living in Korea recently, and it's very uncomfortable not knowing exactly how big of a faux pas you committed.
