My two most notable encounters with yellow jackets (here we call them European wasps or Vespula Germanica) went pretty much like this:

oh shit, there’s a wasp buzzing around on my path. Act cool, don’t show your fear, just move on and nothing will happen

Wasp: stings

You bitch, just go extinct already

In my experience, most wasps are okay.

Yellow jackets are straight up sadistic assholes however.

It really seems to make a difference what time of year it is. End of the summer they’re just waiting to die and do not give a single fuck and will sting you for no reason sometimes.

That’s one of the worst nightmares I could come up with, if given the task…

How did it end?

I opened wide, held my breath and let her find her way out

Yeah that sounds like the wasps we have here in Germany. Bastards, all of them, zero redeeming qualities whatsoever.
