I had a scale growing up but never bought one when I left for college, and accidentally freed myself from the tyranny of that stupid thing. For years I'd make up a rough number of what I weighed when asked (for a driver's license; doing a medical in-take over the phone) and have come to realize: It doesn't matter what number you give them! (Caveat with Virginia's exceptions in her post, of course.)
One thing to note: If you use your scale for weighing your luggage (I used to step on the scale, then step on the scale holding my suitcase and get the difference to figure out if my suitcase was too heavy) you'll need a different method. There are neat handheld luggage scales that are very small and you hold in your hand while hooking your luggage to it.
I was thinking back to having to weigh my luggage as one of the few reasons I really would need to know a number but I don't need to know MY number, I need to know the suitcase's number. Good to know about this handheld option.
