Often enough. Most often due to my own stupidity or laziness (for instance, can't be bothered to put in more air again after having taken some out, hitting some sharp kerb with my daughter on the front or something).
Then again, I don't buy or use heavy super stiff tyres. I often carry a lot of weight on my bike, though. But I'd rather repair a flat once in a while than having to use super strong rigid high-resistance tyres. I feel like a bike should be used and not be pampered. So I tend to be a little rough with my stuff.
