Default OT Would it matter?

I had a rather important letter to send off today and for once, chose First
Class but as I didn't have a stamp of that value, had to call into my local
sub post office to buy one.
"That one there?" the sub post master asked and smacked the stamp on
................ crooked.
..
I felt that to see a stamp stuck on at an angle, didn't give much of an
impression,...... removed it and stuck it on straight.
..
What are your views?

Someone found repositioning a stamp meant the recipient had to pay for
the letter as they assume the stamp was second hand.

I can't put stamps on straight to save my life. Annoys the heck out of
my OH.

Oh, he has had a life, it was just wasted.
Failed in business and socially inept. We should really pity him but
he makes it so difficult.

"If you'll give me your attention, I will tell you what I am:
I'm a genuine philanthropist - all other kinds are sham.
Each little fault of temper and each social defect
In my erring fellow-creatures I endeavour to correct.
To all their little weaknesses I open people's eyes;
And little plans to snub the self-sufficient I devise;
I love my fellow-creatures - I do all the good I can -
Yet everybody says I'm such a disagreeable man!
And I can't think why!"

Are you always so stupid, or is today a special occasion?

You stuck it on straight by hand! And got it in the right position? The
regulation 3.81 mm from the top and right hand edge envelope? I have a
envelope frame and indexing positioner get stamps positioned correctly.
