Why people ask this
Travel questions are bait for stories — every yes is a country, a disaster, or a person met by accident, and the answers tend to outlive the trip itself. 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.
