Wasps stung a man in Reno just to watch him cry.

I don't think I was ever stung by a wasp, and I even held one in my hand once.

I've had a wasp fly up to me, land on me, sting me, and fly off, for no fucking reason! It has happened more than once. They're assholes.

Are you the wasp whisperer? The wasperer?

[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I send them after my enemies.

I have the same experience. I act very carefully around them not to threaten them. I also put a tiny bit of my food on the side for them when they get interested - I love watching them eat. They're like little insect tigers - striped, fierce, but tiny!
