Ding ding ding... When you can stand in the doorway and see that the floor kind of has a concave look to it, you take a chair as close to the wall as possible.
Oh, dear. Well, I can see how you would want to do that. (I'm facing that a bit with the landing on the back stairway to my apartment. I try to walk close to the wall, and not the balustrade, when going from my door to the steps.)
It was, really - until you had to go up three flights of the "Women's" stairs and your muscles reminded you that you were used to normal-sized steps. Of course, the Men's were extra steep. Thankfully there *were* some normal ones in the middle!

And this is where elevators come in handy. ;)
