Why people ask this
This question works because the yes-or-no split always surprises the room — someone answers in a way nobody expected, and the conversation starts from there. Scary questions get traction because everyone wants to know if their weird experience was unique or universal — usually it is more universal than they thought. What makes this format durable is that a no can be just as interesting as a yes. 'No, but I once…' or 'No, and here is why not' opens a conversation the question never directly asked for. The best sessions are ones where the follow-up runs longer than the question itself.
