I felt like such a fool to have been duped
I normally weigh between 222-224, and my brand new 'high accuracy' scale put me at around 292.  I thought my girlfriend was at about 135, but on the scale, she weighed in at around 200.  After I fat shamed her, which led to a screaming argument, our relationship ended and--as a result of the fight--we got kicked out of our apartment and fired from my job (there was a lot of throwing and breaking things and crying on both our parts, as well as incriminating video of the altercation that led to my termination).<br /><br />After a few days of living on the streets, now without a job, girlfriend, or home, I came to a startling realization:  what if the scale had just been off?  Impossible, I thought.  It said it right there...high accuracy digital bathroom scale.  I definitely weigh almost 300 pounds, and I was dating a girl who had been lying to me all along by around 70 pounds!  I felt like such a fool to have been duped.  Yet, the doubt still kept creeping in...what if it was wrong?  There was only one way to know.<br /><br />I went to a drugstore where they had a scale where you could test your height, weight, blood pressure, and all that stuff.  I got on the scale and waited....for what seemed like an eternity.  When the digital display finally stopped moving, it read:  223.  TWO TWENTY-THREE!  No, that can't be right.  After all, the scale I purchased said 'high accuracy.'  I mean, if it had just been called 'Ballpark Digital Bathroom Scale' or 'Drunk Guesstimate Digital Bathroom Scale,' I wouldn't have let it get to me.  It said High Accuracy.  Not just moderate accuracy.  HIGH Accuracy.<br /><br />I went to another store....223.  Another:  224.  ANOTHER:.........223!  Holy Jesus, I've made a terrible mistake!<br /><br />My girlfriend of 4 years still won't speak to me--too much damage had been done, and too many hurtful things were said that fateful day.  My landlord won't let me explain the situation to him.  My work heard all about the outburst and won't offer any sympathy.<br /><br />If you want to lose everything you hold dear to you....go ahead.  Buy the scale.<br /><br />....For real though, I got the scale and it was like 70 pounds off.  Doesn't matter what surface I set it on, batteries out and back in, etc.
