My kitchen scale was off by 8 grams for 2 weeks

I kept wondering why my sourdough loaves were dense and flat, then I weighed my flour against a friend's scale during a bake-off in her apartment near Portland. Turns out my cheap scale drifted after I dropped it last month, and 8 extra grams per 500 threw off my hydration completely. Has anyone else had a baking tool fail in a sneaky way, not obvious until you cross-check with something else?
