    My two most notable encounters with yellow jackets (here we call them European wasps or Vespula Germanica) went pretty much like this:

    oh shit, there’s a wasp buzzing around on my path. Act cool, don’t show your fear, just move on and nothing will happen

    Wasp: stings

    You bitch, just go extinct already

      In my experience, most wasps are okay.

      Yellow jackets are straight up sadistic assholes however.

        It really seems to make a difference what time of year it is. End of the summer they’re just waiting to die and do not give a single fuck and will sting you for no reason sometimes.

      Yeah that sounds like the wasps we have here in Germany. Bastards, all of them, zero redeeming qualities whatsoever.
