    Wasps don’t give a fuck about you; don’t walk up to their nests and slap them and you’ll be fine. They’re defensive creatures rather than aggressive.

    They also serve as excellent pest control. I tend to just leave them be unless they build a nest near a door that would be problematic.

    Hornets, on the other hand, are indeed aggressive and can indeed go fuck themselves.

      You clearly have never encountered a yellowjacket, let alone lived your whole life in a country where yellowjackets are (at least seemingly) 99.999% of all the wasps.

      I can count on one hand, two at most, how many of the times being stung by a yellowjacket was my own fault for bothering it and the total number of times I’ve been stung is hundreds if not thousands.

      Hornets are my bros, they’re super chill here and all they do is hunt wasps.

      No but seriously, no hornet has ever given a fuck about me or my food. And whenever one rocks up, all the wasps are suddenly gone and hiding, it’s hilarious.
