Museum of Plugs and Sockets
To be honest unexpectedly stepping on any plug that's lying around on the floor is pretty unpleasant :)

Yes but the UK plug has a high likelihood of idling with its prongs pointing up, a characteristic not shared with most other plug designs. As painful as it is to step on the side of a plug, stepping directly on the prongs is worse.
