Thats why I was stung three times already just for existing. Two times I was sitting, barely moving, just scrolling on my phone. The other time I was just dog walking when a piece of shit landed on my neck, stung me and flew away happily (I assume).

No. They are, while useful, still scum.

Edit: Did you know they love to eat your callus? They take a seat on your toes and start to munch. I'm sure I wasn't dead yet.

I have them all over my back porch, and my mom has them on her front door. The only time they stung us was when my son was spraying them with the pressure washer. I wonder if different breeds have different temperments?

Yes, vastly so. Time of year matters too.

I have often nests in my garden. I got stung only once when they built their nest in the gutter and I wanted to clean it. I clearly remember the noise they suddenly made 2-3s before they attacked. Unprovoked, they are no threat here.
