Cheap scales

Post by Airspeed »

I bought a set of electronic bathroom scales for just a few dollars.
I weighed myself, had a shower, and re-weighed. Not a SCRAP of difference! :| :rant:

I was willing to give them a fair trial, so I ate a 500g bar of chocolate.
Hopped back on the scales, and found that they indicated an extra half a kilo! :wall:

Moral of the story, don't buy cheap goods, they don't work properly!
Cheers, Mike.

I’d return them Mike. Any weighing device which indicates that 500g equates to half a kilo must be faulty :agree: EricT.
ps the weight of the shower water must have equalled the weight of the dirt which it removed! :hide:
Now at the age where I know I like girls but can't remember why!

Bang goes any hope of more medals from Mike.
Of course I was referring to the amount of water remaining on the body and not the total amount of water used.! Grovel grovel :hide: EricT
