Am I the only one bothered by poorly balanced pipes?

[QUOTE="WarneOut, post: 585291, member: 5415"] It occurs to me now, (though it should have before), that I broke my jaw as a kid, and have consequently probably never developed as strong a jaw as I guess most other people probably have. If a pipe isn't balanced right, I really feel a noticeable pull on my jaw when trying to hold it between my teeth, but if my jaw was a lot stronger this may very well not be as problem. A well balanced pipes rests effortlessly in my teeth without having to exert bite pressure, which is why it's apparently so important for me to have it that way. I do have a lot of physiological chronic health problems that impact the way I'm able to enjoy certain things in life, and sometimes I forget or am not aware that others simply don't have the issues that I have. Aesthetically at least I would have thought others might be bothered by misshapen items in general, but I guess I have less generous expectations of what a constitutes a product of acceptable quality. If all the pipes I had paid $150 for that I had problems with were $50 instead, I doubt I would've had any complaints, so it's also possible I'm just expecting my dollar to get me more than it does in today's world. I think we can call this thread concluded, as it seems that it is pretty much only me that has issues with wonky pipes. Thanks everyone for your input. [/QUOTE]
