What /u/stolid_agnostic said. They don’t care.

If it’s just an immigration stamp and the officer seems nice enough, you can sometimes politely ask them to use a non-blank page that still has some space left (if you travel a lot and your passport doesn’t have a lot of pages, this can delay having to renew it by quite a lot). If it’s a visa, then it really depends at how you’re getting it. I’ve gotten my student visa extended through university several times (I studied abroad) and the staff there actually took initiative to go through my passport and make sure I don’t have “skipped” blank pages. So it depends.
