I hate these stupid ass motherfuckers. Yellowjackets will leave you alone if you leave them alone, simple as that.
I have a nest of them in my garden currently, they took over a compost bin. I went right up to them and was fucking around with the compost before realizing they were there. They started swarming so I immediately stopped moving, then after a few seconds, slowly took my hand out, waited a few more seconds, then put the lid back on the bin and secured it, then slowly backed away. Didn't get stung at all even though I basically touched some of them and messed with their shelter.
But no these Big Tough Manly Men™ on reddit.com are so scared of them that they will burn them alive, drown them, stomp on them, poison them, etc. Fucking pathetic.
ETA: Read up, libs

People (can be) so wonderful. I love the fact he's a retired mountie, and this all takes place in a Canada with no starlight tours, where Trailer Park Boys was a documentary. One time on the live feed he was heartedly arguing with a game warden about this practice and the warden was like LOOK AT THAT RACCOON HE'S TOO FAT TO WALK as some Goliath trash panda cartman-waddled down the steps and fell, and the warden instantly realized he had inadvertently hurt this very large gentleman's feelings.
God. Almost takes the pain of the last two years away.
