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. Work and school questions are popular because everyone has the same bad-meeting and dumb-detention archetypes — recognising them in someone else’s life is the whole point. Have You Ever questions work because they give everyone the same binary entry point — yes or no — and then let the room decide how far to go. A quick nod counts. A ten-minute story also counts. The format never forces anyone to say more than they want to, which is exactly why people do.
