This.

They also never tell you, when you're picking out the granite, that one piece is rarely enough to get the whole countertop, so you get these random grout seams two-thirds of the way along it, and half the time the pattern direction doesn't even match up. My best friend designed their kitchen from the ground up, and she now hates every single thing she chose, but especially the busy, dark, seamed granite countertops.
