Pretty sure my scale is alive and has a sense of humor.

Weigh myself before I pee. Weigh myself after. Normally you think you'd lose weight or at least stay the same, especially when it's one of those "I gotta pee I gotta pee I gotta... PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" moments, you know?

Unless I'm the only one that still does the pee dance at work as a 25-year-old grown-up. In which case I blame it all on my mental age.

Anyway, the result?

0.2 pounds heavier. Because, obviously, that's what happens when you get stuff OUT of your body.

THIS is why I shouldn't randomly stand on the scale in the bathroom at work. It's trying to make my brain break so I can't do anything else for the rest of this shift.

P.S. Should probably sell popcorn the next time I go for a potty break. Could probably make millions. Physicists shall adore me. The world shall know my name. My scale at work shall be FAMOUS. I'm set for life!!! Excuse me, I'm going to go set some theatrical staging in the bathroom. Tickets for sale in aisle 3, introductory price of $25.

P.P.S. There was a moral to this story, but I forgot what it was.

P.P.P.S. I remember now. Being a scale junkie is bad for you. Unless you have a mystical magical weight-gain-from-potty-break scale like I have. Then, it just makes you rich. And famous. But I had it first so you'll have to be less rich and less famous. Sorry.

P.P.P.P.S. Does it count as a postscript when you're just editing your own post? Also, the amount of P's is getting ridiculous. And slightly ironic.

Thank you for this post. I have been bummy all day bc I weighed myself after being at my goal weight and gained 1.6 lbs. I needed to laugh and realize I am not alone. Thanks

Oh well done! you just made me pee my pants! Does that mean I've put on weight too??
Scales don't have a sense of humour, but they can play games with you mind, seriously! Only visit them once a week then they don't have time to mess with you........LOL!:laugh: :laugh:

Glad to know it helped someone. Laugh, smile, and threaten your scale with a baseball bat. Works like a charm every time. I promise. At the very least, if it doesn't work, you can burn some calories beating it with a baseball bat. Win-win, don't you think?

It's a regular occurance in this house - husband seems to enjoy telling me how he can have a big poo and put on a pound! ;-)

OMG! You are too funny! Love it! Thanks for the laugh.

You know what? I weigh myself every morning, after I pee, before I start working out. I've noticed my body can move by 4-5 lbs in one day... lol. As much as I think it's water weight... I know it's probably just my scale.

Mine MUST come from the same manufacturer as yours!

Sure, but that one is scientifically (or not so much) valid. It's a muscle-building, strenuous exercise. Like awesome cardio, only you can do it while reading a magazine or trying to convince the cat not to jump in your lap or pondering the meaning of life and how a flushing toilet can be so mesmerizing to animals.

It must be all the muscles you built while doing the GOTTA PEEEEEEE dance.

LOL, I agree with the muscle theory, hilarious!

Nah, the pee dance was BEFORE weighing on the scale. Or maybe during. One or the other.
