I sometimes do and I did just a few minutes ago as I’m typing this. I decided 5 out of 7, whether or not I was going to go to a chinese buffet today. The coin decided 5-3, that I will. Then I wanted the coin to decide if I’m going thrifting today and with a landslide of 0-5, it didn’t want me to.
And do you stick to those choices?

Coin flip? Amateur. You should roll a D20 for initiative.
Since I rarely have coins handy, I use a clock (if I don’t know the current time, obviously): “If the minutes are odd, yes. Even? No.” (Eg. 2:53 = yes, :54 = no).
I’ll ask people “Yes or no?” With no context.
Dice rolls. I let the number rocks decide my fate. All hail the probability cubes
Yeah, if I’m really genuinely even on a choice and none of my standard tie-breakers apply. Following through is no issue, as I am legit torn, so have no strong preference.
No, never.
Last time was when we were children.
Yes and yes. So far it hasn’t steered me too wrongly.
I use an app called chwazi to decide something between my two kids when they can’t agree on something
chwazi is the ultimate parenting tool. I’m surprised that it doesn’t have wider renown.
Coin flip? Lol, silly humans thinking it’s actually random.
I use Quantum Random Number Generator btw.
I use bird sign.
I usually use it to make small decisions where I want to do the comparatively bad thing but I know I should be doing the good thing. For example, I slept poorly and don’t want to bike to work. Flip a coin to see if I get to take the train instead. I always do 3/5 as well.
I do sometimes use it to choose what to play/watch, although I use a random number generator. It’s more random than a coin toss and cuts to the chase when there’s more than 2 options.
They do say if when you flip a coin, you realise that you really want one side to win, pick that choice.*
