Ha ha! I have more than my share of all of those! Wasted time picking them up, hauling them home, then finding a place to put them. More time wasted getting rid of the worst offenders. Hauling them off, putting in trash, etc. Knew someone about five miles east of me that had put up a sign for fill dirt and rocks. He had some erosion problems on his hillside property. Made more than a few trips out there with rocks to drop in the gullies.
When out collecting, we have a rule that if you pick up a rock and look at it, throw it back down, pick it up again, and drop it again, you are required to take it home when you pick it up a third time! Kinda like three strikes law. It is destiny!

UGLY is in the eye of the beholder. I've collected many rocks that are odd in some manner - ripples in sandstone etc. Good agate exposed to eons of sunshine devolves to white common opal. Most "good" rocks develop a rind that must be removed to view the beauty inside.

I am of course trying to find "beauties", but take home my share of "uglies", which are stained, caked, weathered, etc. Sometimes they are redeemable ... TOO easy ...
