I've never understood this... are people just blindly launching their butts at toilets? Are the lights off? Is alcohol involved?

Muscle memory mostly. I've done it a couple of times.

That makes sense. I guess I'm the opposite. I have a habit of scrutinizing every toilet I sit on because I don't trust placing the delicate bits over random holes...

The vast majority of the time it's fine. It's seemingly only happened in the past when there's been a guest over who doesn't put the seat down themselves. When you have a white seat on a white toilet then it can be easy to make bad calls from subconscious glances.

I don't know about you but I look at what I'm about to sit on.

I'm talking maybe 3 times in 30 years here, and it's nothing dramatic, just an 'ah this is colder than a toilet seat should be' before standing up again.
