Neti pots & I are friends-off for sure

I'm sick.
I tried to pretend (to both myself and others) that it was just allergies for a while but unfortunately I'm under the weather without a doubt.
Because everyone is poking fun at the way I'm talking, I decided to re-visit my neti pot (our only other interaction was less than positive) to try to get rid of some of this pesky snot.
If you've never used a Neti Pot...they tout themselves as a lovely and relaxing way to clean out your sinuses. Look at this girl below....so happy to be using her Neti Pot! Oh, so lovely!

My experience...
Right nostril attempt one: STRAIGHT down my throat followed by choking, coughing, watering eyes
Right nostril attempt two: STRAIGHT down my throat again....what the? After I finish chocking again,  I sit down to watch the youtube video repeatedly since I'm clearly doing something wrong.
Right nostril attempt three (now with a revamped sense of confidence due to my internet research): more saline water mixed with snot is sent down to my stomach......this is stupid
Left nostril attempt one: the water seemingly goes nowhere as my left eye begins to hurt....this can't be right...remove neti pot and water pours back out of my nostril (and apparently eye socket)
Left nostril attempt two: please see left nostril attempt one
Summary....neti pots are ridiculous and I'd rather be sick than try to use one again

Let's watch this simple how-to video posted by pornflakes21 to see how simple it should be

And now let's watch this guy who is clearly crazy....
