they detect fear. if you run, they chase you. like a dog chases a runner. walk calmly and they leave you alone.
Easy to say if you don't have a little ****** flying around you taunting the shit out of you.
Once I was playing tennis and unbeknown to me, a nest of the kents had set up shop just over the fence in a tree.
First serve I hit a rocket kicking serve to this blokes forehand. I knew he'd chase it, because he had a swagger about him that said "my forehand is domo"
campaigner catches it with the leading edge and it flies over the fence.
Kind of smuggly I say "there's a key for the gate on the chair"
Next thing I know,there's a swarm of around 30 wasps ******* after me.
What did I do? Walk away calmly, glory be no I hit the ******* legs.
Unfortunately, these wasps were persistent. They ruddy nailed me. Jumped into my car, but it was too late.
Went back after about five minutes
"Where abouts is the key mate?" The bloke said, kind of smugly.
We never did finish that set
And I've been scarred ever since*
*this story may not of ever happened, but wasps are still campaigners.
