Disappointing.

I just used a Neti Pot for the first time. I sort of expected "stuff" to come out, similar to ear flushing, but it was just water! I'm gross and I wanted to see boogers. Whoa is me.

Re: Disappointing.

  • You know what's also disappointing? Having a roommate who uses her neti pot in the kitchen.
  • That is just gross.

  • Thank you for testing it for me. The grossness booger flushing factor was the only reason I would have even considered using it.

    It feels WEIRD. And you can taste the saline stuff in the back of your throat.

  • That is disappointing!  I like to see the fruits of my labor.  That's why I enjoy popping zits.

  • This makes me crave ear wax candles.

    Nasal douches are never as exciting as one would think.

  • You wanna see boogers? Come to my house. My kids noses are full of them.

    You know what's worse than disappointing and grosser than reading this while eating, is knowing I just ate Kraft Mac & Cheese from 2008 and having this post push me over the nausea edge that's going to have me puke it all up after reading.  Where was the disclaimer in the title?

    Everyone has their gross out thing- obviously mine isn't eating old boxed food, but it IS "boogers".

  • Everybody has boogers. Don't even bother getting checked.

  • You clean another human's poop and you have problems with boogers?

    Yes. THere is something about the word boogers that makes me want to hurl.  And poop is no picnic either, but I don't know why that's not as gross to me.

  • Your kid must have boogers though. Must. How do you deal with that?
    I pick my nose A LOT.
    also, also, boogers seem like gingerbeer after seeing what I just saw on YouTube. I watched the Biggest Pimple in the World video linked on ML and a little bit of my soul died. I couldn't stop watching... And the pus, it just kept coming and coming.
  • One of my favorite activities is nose picking. It is always rewarding.

    Hezz, I may have seen that same pimple of Tosh.0.

  • That's not a pimple, it's a cyst, FYI. In practice, not much difference, though.

    As for the Neti Pot, use it a few times, then blow your nose.  THAT is where you get results.  Unless your congestion is too far up in the sinus cavities to get the flushing action.

  • TSD, you suffer from the same booger aversion my mom had. when we were gross kids and we'd get going on a snot conversation at the dinner table (i know, classy) she would have to leave to go gag in the bathroom. oh how we would laugh.

     looking back, that was really mean.

    Thanks! I only did it once. I'll try again tonight.

    I didn't watch whatever the linked, but I'm guessing it's the one I saw (which I think Fenton linked a while back).  I was equal parts nauseated and fascinated.  Part of me was jealous of the person who got to squeeze all that goo out, but it still made my stomach flip flop.  I love me a good squeezin'.

  • I like to chase Lila around while chanting "I'm going to steal that booger" and she yells "NO, MY BOOGAH  MY BOOGAH"

    She never lets me have her boogers.   The choice is pin her down and listen to her howl while you pick it, or continue to let it drive me crazy that there's a GIGANTIC boog cloggin up her cute wee nose.
