I was a tile installer in a previous life, and occasionally a customer would make the dreaded request to have an accent tile placed 'randomly' throughout a backsplash. They were never happy with the placement, and clearly had no understanding of randomness. Generally what they actually wanted was 'evenly distributed'.
I remember one particular customer kept changing the accent tiles and moving them until they converged upon a very specific pattern throughout the back splash except for one tile that was out of the pattern, that they kept 'wrong' out of some ego driven desire to justify their request for randomness.
