Starbucks Lids

When I get a coffee at Starbucks, I always make sure the glue seam of the cup is at the opposite end of the mouth hole in the lid. Otherwise, coffee drips through the small gap in the glue seam. It is so obviously necessary, yet nobody ever mentions it. My inclination is to feel that the coffee server is passive-aggressively trying to spite me when the glue seam and the mouth hole are within 30 degrees of each other. Or am I just imagining it?
