Maybe dont ask me about private medical information?

Not sure if the flare is correct... Long time lurker first time poster. Not quite Traumatized, but absolutely fun to see their face when I said it.

I'm getting surgery this summer, and I need some time off of work to recover. Its nothing super serious or invasive but surgery is surgery and I'll need about a month off for recovery. I was telling my boss this on my most recent shift, and hes super chill about it "yeah no problem take all the time you need" and such like that. Love him. So my insanely nosey coworker happens overhear this and asks "oh, why are you getting surgery?" I turn to her, and I was about to say "none of your business, its a private medical intervention" when I realized I can do something a lot more funny

So I look her dead in the eyes, smile, and go "cancer!"

The LOOK on her face.... Priceless. She stutters and apologizes before going back to helping the next customer.

Think twice before asking about private medical procedures
