Take this example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gazraa/3576184509/in/set-72157618890412831/ As he is not facing the camera, it's a little easier to position the person off centre. If you put a thirds grid over the shot you will see that the gentleman's head is just about on the top left third. Face on, then maybe it would be less obvious. Don't forget though, it's a guideline, not a hard and fast rule. Experiment and find compositions that you are happy with.

The photo with the windmill to the side seems to work better because your eye focuses not only on the windmill, but on the surroundings too so you take in more of the photograph.
