Thirty small, extremely human behaviours. Replies to every message in nine seconds. Has a colour-coded spreadsheet for a four-day holiday. Names their car. You each call it red, beige or green in secret, and then it flips over.
The deck is deliberately weighted towards things reasonable people split on. Nothing here is actually alarming — the fun is entirely in discovering that the other person thinks something you consider obviously fine is a serious problem.

Questions
Is it mean?
No. The scenarios are about small habits, not people you know, and nothing in the deck is genuinely alarming.
How long is it?
Twelve scenarios per round, drawn from a deck of thirty, so about six minutes and different each time.
