Scales...WTF??

Okay, tonight my daughter finally got me out of the house for a few minutes at Wally World, and yes, I'm beat. Our old scale was broken, so I decided to buy a new set. I go back and see several pairs on the floor to try. Now I never get on the scales unless it's first thing in the morning and I'm undressed. I decided to be bold and try out a digital scale. I usually weigh about 112-115 in the morning. This thing said 118.4, which I didn't see as being bad at 9 p.m. and dressed in jeans. This WM employee walked by and said, "You'd better hope you don't weigh that much!" WTF?? What did he mean by that? Are most men just totally oblivious to the battle women have with scales? I'm truly puzzled, but am probably giving it entirely too much thought. JoAnn
