Have you ever been the person who grunts loudly while lifting weights?
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. Sport questions surface the worst-injury and quit-the-team stories that rarely come up unprompted — and the non-athletes in the room often deliver the funniest answers. Questions like this one get played across every kind of group on have.you — couples on a first date, coworkers at team events, friends on long drives. Each setting produces a different answer, which is part of why Have You Ever has stayed in circulation long after most party games get retired.
