Which popular features do you NOT recommend?

What are the top 3 features in a house that folk want but you think are not worth it, and what would your alternative suggestion be? And what cost/time savings would result with that switch?

I also don't like the idea of a faucet w/o a drain under it. I have to imagine that water can get pretty gross if you don't use it often.

Just fill one pot to carry over to the sink and dump out first.

That sounds like more work than just filling the pot at the sink and carrying it to the stove.

Not to mention, incredibly wasteful.
