How Important are US Postal Service Stamp designs to you?

Totally random question but I find myself wondering this. Today I was in line at the local Post Office and there was this woman who had to review each and every stamp design… from Black History Month, The Simpsons, to Gary Cooper. From the array of available designs, none seemed to quite satisfy this snob’s stamp tastes. She had the postal worker stumbling to try to find the perfect set of stamps, which held up the line!

Is is just me or does the design on a 44 cent stamp not matter? I really couldn’t care what was on it… it could have the case of The Martin Lawrence Show and I wouldn’t mind! I mean, who really inspects what stamp is on the letter? I just look at the TO: and FROM: fields! I never have looked at what stamp was on it and even if I did… I certainly wouldn’t use its image as a reflection of the letter’s sender.

Just a “what’s grinding my gears” of this long week. Lets worry about more important things like the death of fashion genius Alexander McQueen, the US government’s problems, and suffering in Haiti.
