Why people ask this
Work questions land reliably because everyone has the same archetypes — the difficult manager, the moment that nearly went wrong, the thing they still cannot believe they said out loud. 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. The yes-or-no format is what makes it work — nobody has to volunteer a story, but once someone says yes the room always wants to hear it. That is why this question comes up again even in groups that have played before: the answer changes, the story changes, and the same question lands differently every time someone new is in the room.
