My scale must die a horrible death!
I've just discovered something about my scale that warrants the death penalty. It weighs a full pound different depending on which foot I place on it first. Right foot first is a pound lower.
How shall I kill it?
hmm throw it off a bridge :)
run it over... twice.
If it is battery operated, take out the batteries and say to it that it will not compute! (LOL)
Naw, really . . . it might be on a spot that isn't level at all times, hence the difference.
Take care, Claire, and God Bless.
Oh, don't kill it. Treat it like a bad child and put it in a corner. Tell it that it can't come out to play until it can behave itself and play nicely with the other children. 
(although the thread racked up way more than 101....) 
My fave:
Install Windows Vista on it
*laughing* I've been vista'd many a time before. I hate you VISTA! That is the best way to piss off the scale for sure!
Not killing it immediately, you could carefully disembowel it and leave its entrails out for the vultures to pick over while it watches.
ewww...
Mail it to my house. The grandkids will kill it for you. I went to step on mine Friday and the springs have gone on it. So rest assure they will do a job of breaking it for you.
I once went to the doctor for a full health check but she wasn't able to weigh me as her previous patient had jumped on the scale in anger after seeing their weight! I think I lost a couple of pounds laughing, so I suggest jumping on your errant scales!
Are you 100% that the scale is to blame? Maybe your left foot is just being malicious! Kill the foot!
I wouldn't kill it, I would from now on only step with my right foot.

this is what i was going to suggest. but you'd better believe i'm testing my scale tomorrow....
Thank you for the brilliant suggestions and thank you for the link to the previous thread.
Isn't it frustrating when the scale just refuses to say what you need it to say? I've decided to let it suffer as I buy a brand new, better scale. It will be like that commercial with "Mr Broom," watching the lady with her new Swiffer.
This is too funny!
My scale will "0" at a different weight daily......sometimes 16 lbs, then 14, the 5 and its not the batteries.
When I adjust by subtracting the scales "0" from what it tells me, I come into the doctors scale weight so we're good.

Damn, you beat me to it!
I mean, its better to have a glass half full than half empty because no matter what it's still essentially your body being weighed :)
Count me on the list of people that want to kill their scale. Mine's been pretty consistent. But this morning!? UGH!!!! I got on and weighed my usual, got on 15 minutes later - down 4!!! got right back on to double check? back up the 4. So much for consistency!!!
I see a new scale in my future!!!!
p.s. Love the "101 ways to murder a scale". ha!
