In at least one study[1], admittedly funded by Sanofi, ~1/3 of people stuck the wrong end into their thing and ~1/2 didn't keep it in long enough. Just to emphasize on the second item, you said "count to 5" when the EpiPen instructions say 10 seconds. Only 35% of people completed all the steps correctly.
