So, I thought I'd follow your advice and investigate whether my scale is accurate. I decided to keep weighing myself repeatedly, to see whether it changed its mind.
Were it an actual conversation, it would've gone something like this:
Me: What do I weigh this morning?
Scale: 4.
Me: Are you sure about that? You said 4 last night before I went to bed. What about that 2 pounds of weight everyone drops at night while sleeping?
Scale: I said "4."
Me: Y'know, the folks on the internet said you might not be accurate. Said you might just change your mind if I step off and step back on again. You want to try that again?
Scale: 4.
Fine. I shower. I get out of the shower (wearing towel around head as per usual).
Me: So, what is it now?
Scale: 5.
Me: 5?! Are you kidding me? This big wet towel has to weigh more than a pound. That 4 earlier is starting to sound pretty fishy to me.
Scale: 5.
Me: Oh come on.
Scale: (in its very best Monty Python voice) Five shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be five.
I dry my hair. I wait a while. I get back on the scale.
Scale: 6!
Me: You're shitting me.
Scale: OK. 2?
Me: Sold!
