Haylo, I have learned several choice Hindi words you might like to employ!
It's ridiculous that I don't know how to tell a waiter "I'll have the toast please", but can call him all kinds of offensive names (don't be surprised if I return from India hungry and with a black eye!). I have some kind of brain wrong. In the meantime, chullo jao is a kind of terse way of saying go away, a bit like "get lost". Aapko mushkil hai? is "Do you have a problem", I think...?

Back to MickeyS - yes, they do that to see if you are gay or bi-sexual or whatever. Happened to a male friend of mine visiting here not so long ago.
I like the knee jerk reaction suggested response!
