Wow. I would only weigh 125.

next, she’ll change her age from Fahrenheit to Celsius

Fantasy world.

Mrs is European so the scales are set to kilo. My weight is 97 kilo. Coworker is a petite 5’2" Asian. She tells me she tips the scales at 99 lbs fresh out of the shower. I’m 6’4" so I get a kick out of telling her I weigh less than she does!

Don’t step on it. It’ll make you cry.

When I would drive up to Canada, I had to remember to set my speedometer to KPH otherwise I get a speeding ticket. Same for when I came back so I didn’t get run over.

Lived in Brazil for a few years it grows on you. Most of the world uses it and it makes sense.

It’s easy to accidentally nudge the mode button from pounds to kilograms with a toe when you steop onto the scale.

I set my speedometer to kilometers… makes me feel like I’m going faster!
