A fucking wasp landed RIGHT on the screen of my laptop earlier. Evil!

[Danger Mouse]

I hate wasps. I hate em. I hate em more than Indiana Jones hates snakes. I have cans of Raid all over especially for dealing with wasps because they are evil, pure evil, little demons and every single wasp deserves only DEATH.

one morning, as i was waking up in bed, i stretched and felt a pain in my hand. you know why? because a wasp had been resting on my pillow and stung me. demons. all of them.

anybody out there actually hate wasps more than i do?

[frogmarch]

1. Me!

I hate wasps with a passion. There were gobs of them flying around in my garage today. They're very aggressive in the fall, and they kept dive-bombing me. I sprayed them with Windex and then squashed the little bastards with my shoe. Even that creeped me out.

[some guy]

2. what was it fucking?

just curious.

[TK421]

3. I got stung in the face by one last summer...I believe I posted about it in the lounge

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. REVERSE RACISM!!!!111!!!!

[Archae]

5. I hate ANY bug with a needle in it's ass.

KILL IT WITH FIRE!

[old mark]

9. Where can I get one of those? I really need one....nt

[sohndrsmith]

6. Hope you're not in the Southwest, because the Tarantula Hawk is one big

ass wasp/hornet-type giant. I remember the first one I saw - I was so stunned I forgot to be afraid because it didn't look real (I took as many close-ups as I could...).

They are about 4 inches long, and from what I've read that their sting is absolutely THE most painful of all.

Personally, I prefer extreme pain over other effects from really dangerous creatures. I don't care for bark scorpions or ticks. Fire ants are awful - I woke up covered in them once. That was a bloody nightmare.

Give me a wasp any day over ticks, scorpions - even fire ants (which are everywhere it seems)....

7. No fire ants up here in Wisconsin!

Too fucking cold for those little pricks!

18. For now.

Global warming and all that's a comin' :P

16. A tarantula hawk sting is only below the bullet ant on the Schmidt Sting Pain Index

1.0 Sweat bee: Light, ephemeral, almost fruity. A tiny spark has singed a single hair on your arm.

1.2 Fire ant: Sharp, sudden, mildly alarming. Like walking across a shag carpet and reaching for the light switch.

1.8 Bullhorn acacia ant: A rare, piercing, elevated sort of pain. Someone has fired a staple into your cheek.

2.0 Bald-faced hornet: Rich, hearty, slightly crunchy. Similar to getting your hand mashed in a revolving door.

2.0 Yellowjacket: Hot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine W. C. Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue.

2.x Honey bee and European hornet: Like a matchhead that flips off and burns on your skin.

3.0 Red harvester ant: Bold and unrelenting. Somebody is using a drill to excavate your ingrown toenail.

3.0 Paper wasp: Caustic and burning. Distinctly bitter aftertaste. Like spilling a beaker of hydrochloric acid on a paper cut.

4.0 Pepsis wasp: Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair drier has been dropped into your bubble bath.

4.0+ Bullet ant: Pure, intense, brilliant pain. Like fire-walking over flaming charcoal with a 3-inch rusty nail in your heel.

8. Not a normal DU demographic, but glad to have him/her aboard, i guess.

[Roon]

10. I don't have a screen on one of my bedroom windows

and every year a wasp or two will come in and make a nest right above the window frame. They don't bother me and I don't bother them.

[chillspike]

11. Do wasps make honey?

What do they do all day?

[raccoon]

12. Yellow jackets are worst. Really aggressive little buggers, and their venom lasts longer. nt

[Renew Deal]

13. Aren't wasps a sign of fertility?

[MilesColtrane]

14. Yellowjackets stung me on the hand as I was trimming the hedges this morining.

I got popped three times before I could pull my hand away.

My left hand is now very swollen.

It looks like one of Mickey Mouse's hands.

Grrrr!!

:mad:

[EOTE]

15. Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life.

Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.

[TheMightyFavog]

17. Just show it a LaCosta shirt, a brend new Mercedes, and the latest in sailboat technology..

Ant you'll be rid of the WASP.

[pokerfan]

19. Had one fly inside my jacket on the motorcycle once

Stung me about half dozen times before I got stopped as crashing would have been worse.

[Blue_Tires]

20. kill it with fire...death is too good for their kind

i pretty much hate all insects...:nuke:

22. If it was a "fucking wasp" wouldn't there have been 2 of them? If it was alone

it was a jack-off wasp.

[nolabear]

23. I'm allergic. At least bees are a bit zen. Wasps are, well, wasps.

I've had body parts swell up like melons. I carry an Epipen (when I remember to renew them; it'll be the death of me) and have been told that if I get stung anywhere other than on a limb to call 911. I don't hate them, and I don't have a phobia like I do with those goddamned palmetto bugs, but the old heartbeat does notch up when I know there's one around!
