Bloody wasps! (I assume)

[thecraw]

Cycling home tonight minding my own business a wasp decides to fly into my neck. Not only that the little blighter decides to fall into the collar of my jacket and thereafter inside my jacket.

At first I didn't know it was a wasp so I assume the little cretin is stunned after hitting me and falling into the inside of my jacket however after about 100 or so yards I start to hear a buzzzzzzzz followed by a series of sharp foxtroting stings to my chest and sholder.

I brake and unclip from my pedals in record time and proceed to dismount while performing a wild shaking dance act while trying to unzip my jacket which was them waved about like a lunatic. I didn't even get the pleasure of even seeing the little blighter or killing the flocker!

I now have four stings and a stiff right shoulder which my evil witch (wife) finds rather amusing!


I'm in a huff upstairs. :angry:

I have a better one than that, was strimming down the back of my old garden when I went through a wasps nest. They somehow managed to get inside my trouser legs and I had 34 stings all up my legs. Thankfully the wee chap survived intact didn't fancy the hospital with that

It would have been a big swollen member after that, I'm sure you'd have had a few nurses in for a swatch!

Want me to ask Lynsey to rub it for you?

A couple of summers ago, hid and me were sunbathing in the garden and had mentioned that there were a lot of wasps about.
Then the wife says " there's one just come out of the bird box, it looks like there's something in it."
I almost got the "n" of " nooooo" out before she sticks her finger in.
Squealed like a pig!
:rofl::rofl:
Of course it was my fault for not warning her quick enough.

A bit of a ride was the words quoted :rofl:

I really hate wasps to phobic proportions, I once left a ball in a bunker cos there was a wasp near it.

just discovered a wasps nest in the air vent at my front door, I wondered why I was seeing so many of the pesky things, they're now crawling up the floor boards into the house.....

I'm like Mr Miashi on steriods with my fly swatter, you have to ensure a kill or you make them angry, you wouldn't like to see them when they're angry!

 

[patricks148]

must be a lot of it about!

I was out walking the doglast night, and cut through a path by the river ness that we had not been down for a while, was hacking at some stinging nettles witha stick when all of a sudden a buzzing all aroung. made a run for it into the open and all i could hear was buzzing. I had a tee shirt and a sleeve less wind breaker on so thew that on the ground it was covererd in wasps all stinging the bugger out of it.

Anyway stood there for 20 mins about 50 yards away tilll most of them had bugged off. Went back over to my top stapped on it a few time to make sure.
The dog had vanished too, spent another 20 mins calling her as she had set off for the hills.
Not sure how many stings on my upper arms till i got home. 3 on one are 2 on the other.
Very lucky there.

I was cycling on my way to guard duty a couple of years back and was going some speed down hill. A wasp hit me in the eye socket.
Human natural reaction is to close the eye, so I trapped it in there and it stung me a couple of times. Picked it out eventually after the initial shock of what was going on.
I had the worst headache ever for 2 days and my eye had closed up (not shooting eye)
Manned up and was impressed I didn't fall of bike.

Ouchie!

I've yawned whilst cycling downhill and had one wedge itself in the corner of my mouth ended up in hospital (allergic to stings) as it had stung my tongue and I would have eventually suffocated apparently

Can't stand wasps!... never found a use for them?????
