No big deal live and let live, until I walked around to start the truck and one of those bastards hit me about an inch from my left eye.
Pain, swelling and an oath that all of them and all their babies will die.
Consider yourself fortunate that you don't live in Alabama.

Massive wasp nests as big as a car are appearing in Alabama (again)

(CNN)Scientists issued a buzzworthy warning to Alabama residents: thousands of wasps are making the state home in what are called perennial yellow jacket nests. And they are freaky.
In 2006, a colony of 15,000 yellow jackets -- the size of a Volkswagen Beetle -- was one of 90 perennial nests located in Alabama that year. Entomologist Charles Ray said something like this may happen again in 2019.
