I’ve been reassured by that one Star Trek episode where Riker and Ro are out of phase with the rest of the ship that you can never pass through floors, only walls.
I remember a certain episode of batman beyond as a kid giving me a strange fear of “using powers to phase through walls and ending up accidentally falling through the ground”. On second thought though, thats the least of your concerns; you wont actually hit the ground or anything and more importantly you’ll phase through the air molecules as well instead of breathing them
Mirio (Lemillion) from My Hero Academia has the power to phase through anything, and the story executed it well.
When he activates his power, he falls through the ground and loses the ability to see or breathe. Over time, he learns how to activate his power selectively on specific parts of his body, which allows him to phase through walls effectively.
The Earth is spinning at around 1000 mph at the equator, orbiting the sun at 67,000 mph. The solar system moves at 450,000 mph around our galaxy, which in turn moves at 1,300,000 mph through the cosmos. If you can phase through things, falling through floors is exactly the least of your problems.
The goofy light-hearted sitcom Ghosts has a terrifying setup for how the ghosts can move about. They can move through matter laterally, but still use stairs and inclines to change elevation. Go down to the basement and through the wall? Then you’ll be trapped in darkness and unable to find your way back except by accident. One character falls down a well and is trapped for most of a season. Another is missing for decades.
Gravity plating in the floors! Their phased baryons were able to pass through normal matter, but not through the graviton fields running through all the floors of the decks.
Now don’t ask how they were able to breathe, because I’ve got nothing on that.
Don’t accidentally use the equation that opens a 4th dimensional path through the floor though.

Wow, core memory unlocked. That was a pretty fucked up episode when you think about it
That one and the sound guy that Terry made deafen himself are two peak episodes.
Y’all forgot about Mr Freeze committing suicide-by-Batman.
Bruce putting on that like exoskeleton bat suit and being Batman one last time was a pretty good one too

Inertia though. You’d also have no drag, so you’d stay in place, relative to the observed start point.

They can also sit on sofas etc. “It makes no sense!” says one newly dead character.
Geordie you philistine.

Um ackshully it’s Geordi and Ro.
