Damn the Bottom Step

BEWARE the BOTTOM STEP!!! They're tricky little buggers.

DANGER! Always use caution while venturing down the stairs. You never know when you may come in contact with the elusive Bottom Step. It takes finely crafted skill and years of experience to maneuver your way past and survive such a journey.
Bottom Step passing should always be an exclusive event. Never, under any circumstance, attempt to make this a multitaskable activity.
For example, do not attempt to read a text message while aiming to conquer the difficulty of the Bottom Step. This foolishness can only end in disaster. A mistake like this will result in defeat. The strength and craftiness of the sneaky Bottom Step will overpower you, and you will go tumbling down. The repercussions can be devastating. Inadequate cushioning of the tush may result in tenderness and the inability to sit for extended periods of time.
Consider this the next time you decide to undertake the challenge of the Bottom Step phenomenon.
