If you have to choose between two things but cant, toss a coin.

Its works not because it makes the decision for you, but because in that brief moment when the coin is spinning you suddenly know what you are hoping for.

This actually works!
But then it turns into best of three if I don't get the answer I wanted. Then I go ahead and do what it was i wanted to do in the first place.

Me too.
It's not the result, it's the reaction to the result that counts.

I don't even spin it...
I use this technique with others, but simply by asking "OK, which side of the coin is which option?" - the option they name first is almost always their favourite. Once you point that out and offer to spin anyway, they often don't want to as they risk not having their preferred one come up.
