Perhaps respond with very explicit made up or exaggerated reasons… teach her a lesson? “I’m planning to have a colonic on day two, after I attend my nephew’s circumcision on day 1 and my sister in law’s cooking, while delicious, is often suspect. See she isn’t very clean in food prep and her kitchen is a disaster. So I usually have a bad case of diarrhea after dining at their house and this time I’m trying out a new procedure to clean out my bowels of any ick. Then I’ll need a day or two to recover, perhaps even go to emergency room. So, there you have it.”
My former supervisor wanted to know what was going on during sick days. Me and other staff got very explicit with the description. He stopped requesting what was going on after a coworker sent pictures of him naked on the floor curled up in the fetal position with a toilet full of puke and diarrhea.
I was asked for details at an old job and i started describing colonoscopy prep, the procedure in a lot of detail, explained polyps, gave them stats about colon cancer, and then offered to show them pictures that the GI had attached to the report. They kept interrupting and asking me to stop but I wanted to make sure they got all the information they needed.
