Trapped inside my house by wasps

Magi · #1 (**permalink**) Jul 26, 06

Mowing my lawn

I move a wheelbarrow, only to disturb a wasp nest.

They swarm, I'm caught unprepared. Drop my glasses + cellphone in the ensuing chaos somewhere on my lawn.

I run into my house and wait a few minutes, thinking they've gone and buzzed off (haha).

I go back to search for my glasses.

AND THEN THEY LAUNCH A COORDINATED COUNTEROFFENSIVE. THEY WERE LYING IN WAIT.

One of the fuckers got me in the back of the neck.

My mother is currently out there all covered up searching for my lost items, and I'm all bottled up inside my boiling house with windows + doors closed, lest those fuckers find me.

Quite possibly the most irritating thing ever.

Too dangerous.

I would rather use my tennis racket :D swings fast and has a good area of effect (the grills are close enough that they should slice up those wasps really nicely).

Equipped with either my snowboard helmet or hoodie, snowboard goggles, mouth and nose covering from work, and sweater + pants, I will take that shit down.

hah, I climbed on my roof the other day with two cans of wasp killer wearing just a pair of shorts and killed them all.

That foam wasp killer is the best! They were flying at me straight on and I'd get them mid-air, almost knocked my ass off the roof! haha.
