151 Embarrassing Never Have I Ever Questions

About the Embarrassing deck

This is the deck for the memories that arrive uninvited at 2am. Saying I love you while ending a work call. Replying enjoy your meal to a waiter who just said it to you. Waving at someone who was clearly greeting the person behind you.

The questions are deliberately specific, because embarrassment lives in detail. Not have you ever been awkward, but: had your card declined in front of people you wanted to impress, put items back on a shelf one at a time, walked confidently in the wrong direction and had to turn back past the same people.

There is a section on names — forgetting one mid-introduction, introducing two people who already know each other well, greeting a stranger like an old friend. And one on technology, which has created an entirely new category of humiliation: sending a complaint about someone to that exact person, having a private message read out loud, handing your phone over with something visible on the screen.

Everyone in the room will have at least one of these. Most will have several.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the Funny deck?

The Funny deck is about absurd moments you laugh at immediately. This one is about the moments you still think about years later.

Is it mean-spirited?

No. Every question is about something the reader has almost certainly done too, which is why the deck works.

Is it clean?

Completely. Nothing adult and nothing that would be awkward in front of family or colleagues.
