Pro tip: if you're afraid to ask - just over estimate by a fair margin. If you're still within the W&B envelope, less is then even better.
I used a different strategy. I said w/o knowing more I have to be conservative and I'll log her at 2-hundo.
Another way to look at that strategy is that if you overestimate by a fair margin, you are sure to receive the correct weight in snappy order!

My man. She was like a 100 dripping wet. I’ve got beer kegs that weigh more. Unless @kaiser brings his…I used a different strategy. I said w/o knowing more I have to be conservative and I'll log her at 2-hundo.
She balked. And I said "well you're definitely not 150" (she is def below 150). Her anger intensified.
To defend her pride she then gave me a range that helped for planning
When using estimated weights, it's best to make sure the result is not close to any of the boundaries of the envelope.
Agree, I was just commenting on the number of pilots focused only on the weight of the passengers, not the effect the passenger has on the CG.
