Scale

Options
Does this happen to everyone? I bought a scale and it does it to everyone that uses it. When I put it on a hard tile surface it says I'm 48kg and when I put it on a carpeted area it reads 52kg. My friends have all tried it out and they have the same results. Is it faulty? It was pretty cheap.

    yay, there are special "feet" some scales come with in order to do correct weight on carpet, or it is always higher, it is not really balanced on carpet, use the hard surface
