Then why did the wasp go in her shirt?
Fuck this wasp propaganda trying to justify their illegal war on humans.
I was playing my Gameboy at a picnic table. No food. Bastard stung my elbow. Fuck wasps and fuck anyone that defends them.
Maybe you just sucked at the game and he wanted to motivate you to get good
Get off the computer, you filthy wasp.
And I want to do it for you…
As if stealing my food is supposed to justify it.
it’s a wasp, it is hungry.
So are ants. They aren’t jerks about jt.
neither are jerks, they simply are what they are trying to survive hostile environments best they can with what they have.
Maybe if they took a page from bees people would like them more.
it’s a wild animal
so am i
Who gave wasps access to the internet?
I agree. There is always a reason. And with wasps that reason is “fuck you, I’m a wasp.”
Literally outside eating a peach with a wasp harassing me while reading this.
Literally asking for it, how dare you attempt to enjoy a delicious seasonal fruit
“why doesn’t the wild animal think of my happiness??”
It’s late in the season. They should be more attracted to proteins to bulk for winter than simple sugars like they do early spring.
(at least where I’m from they do this)
We put some raw chicken in a wasp trap once and my god, I’ve never seen so many wasps in one place. The thing was almost a quarter full by the end of the day.
That might explain why it was trying to work its way into my ear - to get at my tasty inner ear flesh or some other comparably horrific delight
Inner ear. A wasp delicacy. Rare around this parts since humans started burying their dead.
Them carapace’d stinger buzzards are watching their macros to stay swole!
I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it again:
FUCK WASPS
Wasps generally won’t fuck with you, but here’s a pro tip.
It’s been shown that they can recognize and remember human faces. No idea how they have enough wetware for that kind of pattern recognition, but whatever.
So, do not look at them! And for damn sure don’t wave your arms about. If they think you’re any sort of threat, it’s game on.
Had a nest over my front door for months and they didn’t hassle me or my pig, and we went in and out that door frequently. Pointedly ignoring them worked, but I finally nuked the nest so none of my friends would get stung.

Someone never heard of yellowjackets 🙄
I’d had this over my front door for however long it took for them to build it. My pest control service said the size of the nest can affect how aggressively defensive they might respond to perceived intruders. I guess maybe I was just lucky we caught this one before it got any more developed.
There may be some precedent for that. Swarming bees (that’s what they’re called when they’re clumped in random places without a home) are very docile because they have nothing to protect.
Do you have a potbelly? What’s the ownership experience like? I always wanted one as a kid but hadn’t thought about them for years until just now!!
nature does not owe you safety
That’s why we use bug zappers liberally.
Saying the wasp didn’t do it out of malicious intent doesn’t imply it’s the victim’s fault for being stung. That sucks, I bet it hurt. 💔
The first 4 times I got stung by yellow jackets this year, I can understand. I was encroaching on their territory by walking down a trail. But did they really have to follow me into my truck 40 feet away and continue to sting me inside? Little pricks. Land ownership is theft, wasps!
Ryan George made me better understand why wasps do that
I’m assuming there is a lot of regional variation here, the wasps near my house have never caused much trouble, they just eat dead mice and large grasshoppers. One even let me pet it recently. We did end up nuking a nest inside the garden hose box a few years back, but I doubt the wasps chose a problematic location intentionally.
