Some 11000+ hours, flew with an F/O recently (B717) who did a perfect landing at Alice Springs (in the touchdown zone and smooth as silk).

It was my landing into Perth. I planted it so hard I'm surprised that the thing didn't take root. A little old lady in a wheel-chair looked at me as I was deplaning and said "that was a terrible landing" and then turned her back on me.

It was too, I didn't think she had to be rude and turn her back on me though!

It happens. I don't believe there's a pilot alive or dead, who gets it perfect 100% of the time.
