I recently bought a scale for weighting food and had a good laugh reading the manual when I saw "not to be used for illicit substance trade". I imagined some small time drug dealer reacting "damn it".

    I have a very nice scale that is accurate to 0.1 g and updates very rapidly, because I'm a coffee nerd, and need the precision to accurately dose my espresso. But one of the jokes in the community is that the only two groups of people that need scales like these are coffee people and drug dealers...
