...Someone else who is afraid of the worst creature ever to be put on this earth (closely followed by smelly, slow, useless horses) - Wasps!!!!

Who can not stand these foul things? I should be outside enjoying a hot summers afternoon (one of the last we're likely to get this year), instead I find myself hiding away from the spawn of the devil. :evil:

Everyone else around seems to not have a problem with them, so in a Dave Gorman style, I want to find lots of people like me. So I can prove to myself I'm not a freak... Or am I?

I had a wasp on my top lip in the pub garden the other week - I stayed very still UNTIL it started crawling up my nose... I then ran around the beer garden like a girl flapping my arms around my head, much to the amusement of the other beer-swilling clientelle...

They are like caravans - they slow the traffic down, only the difference is, they leave more sh1t on the road.

wasps dont bug me that much, unless I'm eating and they keep landing on my food then I keep thinking I'm gonna eat them or something. Usualy I just let them go about their business.

I hate flies, not scared of them they just a agitate me

you got 3 types

1. Bluebottles - quite easy to kill cos theyre noisy
2. The ones that stay on a light bulb
3. The one that never land on anything

I hate that lightbulb-cruisers. I've got a big velux window in my room and when I open it late at night (cos my room gets really hot and stuffy pretty quickly) I have to make sure I switch my lights off cos otherwise they all zoom in and just hang round on the roof the whole night. ARGH!

I think wasps are ace. Nothing wrong with them and I've been stung in bad places by them but I've still don't hate them. Where as Flies are very ugly horrible things.

flies seem to have no purpose whatsoever. At least wasps, bees, etc can:

A) Make you honey. yummy yummy.
B) Scare you sister
C) Scare attractive female friends of yours that don't like them, giving you the chance to look like the "big tough man" and remove them for her. Ahhh...she'll love you forever more.....

....maybe not. :?

Wasps are pretty useless creatures, but I don't see the point in irritating them by trying to swat them because you'll only increase the likelihood of being stung. If you stay still they usually fly away. - jc

Did you know that if you kill or attack a wasp it releases a scent that just attracts other wasps.

Also, did you know that if you dislodge or attack a nest then you're really in the shaaaargh. - jc
