I had a bathroom scale in the trunk of my car (long dull story) and I brought it in the house so that I could weigh the luggage that we were checking. (Don't judge me)
It's a digital scale, which is more marketing than anything else, it has an encoder reading marks on a rotating, while the analogue version has your eye reading Marla on a rotating disk.
I needed to get the weight of our bag, it needed to be under 50 lbs, and the bag was large enough that it covered the readout.
So I weighed myself (none of your f$#@ing business, that's how much) and then I weighed the suitcase and me, and subtracted the difference.
The latter confirm was unstable enough that the number never settled.
In the old style scale, I could simply look.
But this was a speaking scale, something that I had always thought was useless, so I could put the suitcase in the scale and hear the weight.
It was overweight, and I made adjustments.
I had always thought that a talking scale was worse than useless.
I stand corrected.
