Too much time on their hands.

> why does bread/toast land butter side down?????
I saw an experiment which tested this theory.
Think about it... most toast is made/carried at kitchen unit/table/waist height. It is always placed butter side up. When its dropped it rotates and the distance it travels to the floor is only short so it rarely would be able to rotate one full circle before hitting the floor. 9 outa 10 times thats butter side down.
Solution:
Build tall kitchen work surfaces and tables, or carry the toast high above your head when transporting it.
OR
Butter both sides.
