Went down a metal slide once and a swarm of them came out of one of the top poles. Swarmed my throat and stung me several times there. Survived, but it was horrible.

Even been stung by paper wasps twice. First time I was a child and freaked out cause, again, child. Second time was just a few years ago helping a neighbor move a dryer. Such my hand all up inside that nest and caught massive a half dozen stings before I figured out what was going on. It seriously felt like slight electric shocks, but the pain faded in a matter of minutes and wasn’t all that bad during that time.

when i was about 10, i was climbing on the picnic pavilion at the park. I had got to the roof and went to get down by holding the edge of the roof and rolling/flipping off of it. I got a firm grasp of paper wasp nest with one hand and halfway through my flip down, i felt the stings. Let go and fell flat on my back in the mulch then booked it home faster than ive ever run.
