And then you have Vancouver and Toronto where many buildings skip both.
I had a friend living in a "15th floor" condo that was actually on the 12th floor because there were no 4th, 13th, or 14th floors. It gets even more ridiculous on taller towers where they may skip the entirety of the 40th-49th floors.
