Have you ever eaten food off someone else's plate without asking?

Why people ask this

Gross questions earn their place because the laughter they trigger is louder than almost any other category — horror and humour share more wiring than people think. On have.you, this question is part of a category played by people across every kind of setting — parties, road trips, dinners, late-night calls — which is why the same question reads differently in every group. The interesting part is rarely the answer itself; it is the follow-up, the story behind the yes, or the surprised reaction when somebody answers the opposite way. That is what keeps Have You Ever questions in rotation long after most party games get retired.
