This happened to me when I was a kid. My family was having a picnic which included the rare treat of fried chicken. A wasp buzzed down, landed on my chicken and sawed away a chunk of it. Then it took off, faltered because the chunk was so heavy, then buzzed away. Your comparison to a helicopter is spot on! We all just sat there and watched it, not knowing what to do. We still talk about how weird that was.

I was eating sushi outside on my lunch break, and ofc a local wasp was buzzing around so I moved a chunk of tuna a bit away from me so it would feel safe to land. It landed, cut out an almost perfect square of tuna, hugged it with it’s legs and flew off. It was a bit like watching a cargo helicopter lifting up a container.

I always sacrifice some small piece of fruit or meat to them when the wasps are getting annoying. 65% of the time, it works everytime and they fuck off with their gift and never come back

I don’t negotiate with terrorists. I’ll spray or salt shotgun every winged cunt I see.

I just run away in panic. Or don’t eat outside during late summer.
