Unlike normally sensitive people, however, EIPs make it hard to refuse them. They may question your refusal by saying things like, “Why can’t you do it?” Or they might try to problem solve your decision, saying, “Well, couldn’t you do it if you…?” followed by a suggestion. No reasonably polite person would keep on like that, but EIPs act like your time belongs to them. If they still persist after you refuse, you can say: “Do you need me to give you more reasons? I’m afraid I can’t,” or just give them a helpless shrug.
