Yup
When I was visiting a friend in UK the townhouse they lived in had a crazy rise over run. The steps were so short that when you put your foot on it, the heel hangs off the back (I don't have THAT big of feet). They took a few days to get used to, and even worse when trying to carry luggage up and down. At least they were narrow stairs that I could plant both palms on the walls (no railings were installed).
