      See, the problem is that my definition of “don’t disturb” and their definition are very, very different. I don’t disturb them the same way I don’t disturb bees: oh, look, it’s a few feet away, I’ll just stay over here and mind my own business!

      Their definition is: “stay several hundred feet away from me, don’t even look at me, if the air anywhere in my vicinity vibrates as an after effect of you breathing half a mile away I will hunt you the fuck down

      So, like, it’s a fundamental incompatibility. They can’t abide me existing, and I can’t abide them being horrifically aggressive because I dared to exist. Unfortunately for them, I have the advantage of size and tools.

        Fair enough, I guess we must be used to different species. I’ve never had a problem with lone wasps, and as for the nest building ones, I once got swarmed by a paper wasp colony but only because one of them got accidentally caught and squashed in my clothing.

        You disturbed them without knowing it. Your presence in the outdoors is annoying. Your thirst for adventure and outside time is unacceptable. Your very existence is what drives them mad.
