Not wasps, but yellowjackets specifically. Irrational anger with wings, little bastards.

Love me some chill time with a mud dauber though.

And it's too easy to confuse them with paper wasps, which normally aren't aggressive.

We get yellow jackets in our yard every summer and I used to destroy them all on sight but I always felt so bad about taking out entire families with chemical warfare so I've switched to a live and let live strategy the last few years. They are chill and we've only had one sting in those years and I think that was just an unfortunate accident with my youngest stepping on one and pissing it off. I still have several cans of spray so if they break the treaty then I'm ready to go to war, but for now we're able to cohabitate.

Yeah I learned that besides yellow jackets, wasps can actually help a garden by keeping away pests and won't hurt anybody if you don't bother them. Really surprising seeing a wasp just totally ignore me.

We had yellow jackets find a whole in the wall, and dig in and burrow out the drywall. Just a thin layer of paper between them and our bedroom. Luckily noticed and got the nest cleared out before they made it inside the house

This. I have no problem with anything but the yellow jackets. Over the years, dog has been stung, I have been stung and my wife has been stung. All of us minding our own business and just got too “close.” I will burn those f@&)ers to the ground every chance I get.
