    As a pest control professional, I assure you that wasps aren't trying to fuck you up. They get aggressive in the late season but for the most part they won't fuck with you unless you are a threat. I've knocked down countless wasp nests with my brush and only been stung a few times. Those times I got stung I was really asking for it by how I went about it. They're also accidental pollinators so they do help more than people think.

      Last time I got stung by a wasp I was just standing on the street. Not a nest to be seen anywhere.

      It came out of nowhere, stung me and got away. I stood there for a couple of hours after that and it never came back, not other wasp. So surely it didn't care I was there, it just wanted to fuck with me for no reason.

    They're all vicious assholes that get irritated by the most mundane things so I'm gonna expect them to sting me and they have for no reason that I could tell... Also these look like yellow jackets, which are particularly annoying but not as annoying as the 4 species of hornets battling for territory around my old house. I think bumblebees are cute though they will boop you and not try to kill you.

    I get apprehensive around wasps too but it's very funny to me how much hatred and distrust these animals are met with because they are able to force you to treat them with a little respect

    According to Lord Sauron, wasps are just trying to help, and are very misunderstood. Please let them into your house, they will reform.

    Wasps are great. I love watching them fuck with this friend of mine. He makes any encounter with them a million times worse with his absurd flailing. One time it rusulted in him getting stung on the back and I nearly died laughing. He was a stroppy bastard for the rest of the day because of that.
