Have you ever skipped a class?

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. On have.you, this question draws players from every kind of setting — parties, road trips, dinners, late-night calls — which is why the same question reads differently every time. The interesting part is rarely the answer itself; it is the follow-up, the story behind the yes, or the surprised reaction when someone answers the opposite of what everyone expected.
