I preface this story by telling you I was stung by a wasp last week while opening up the pool.

It was 84 degrees outside, Friday, April 27, and the girls on the OU campus had their finest short shorts on. After getting the car all prettied up, I decided I would be a cool guy and roll through the middle of campus on the way to class.

I go through a section where there are crosswalks with stoplights every 20 yards, full of people crossing during the lunch hour. In pole position at a stop light with the top down, and the stereo audible to passer-byers, I see a big ol' wasp flying around the windshield. No big deal, I think. Then, the little bastard comes over the top and flies around my head.

Remembering the pool incident, I fling off my seat belt, yank the e-brake, and jump out of the car, and start flailing my arms like a little girl. I must have been so red by the time I got back in the car, disengaged the brake, and took off!

 

*fdlol* sorry to laugh, but I gotta say that's pretty darn funny! anytime anyone is swatting flies, wasps, or the like - from a distance it looks pretty nutty.

thanks for sharing your embarrassing moment. I hope others can share theirs too!

 

I'm with you! I go crazy when bees and wasps fly around me too! Everyone says, just stay still. Yeah right!! If I do that I always get stung. Guess I would be just as embarrased.

Have you ever been caught pulling a spider web off your face? That really looks silly.

 

Was your car yellow? I always find a bee or two sitting on my car when I get off of work. I have to stare them down and calmly get in the car... and then dare them to hang on for dear life hehe

 

I wish I could have seen that. It must have looked like you had gone totally nuts!

Me, I had just gone over the 600 miles, was at a light looking and acting cool, reving the engine, waiting for the green light to get my baby screaming, and instead popped the clutch too fast during the off pedal moment with the engine revving down, and, yep you guessed it, I stalled it!

Talk about looking foolish. Oh well. whatcha gonna do. I just laughed, restarted the car and drove off into the sunset.

 

That reminds of the time I found a wasp's nest on my roof. I had to get rid of it somehow, so me and my friend went to the store and got four cans of pestiside. Each of us got all bundled up. I'm talking scarfs, hats, jackets, jeans, etc. We both grabbed two cans and went to work. Next thing we knew all these wasps were just everywhere. I think we did more damage to ourselves by inhaling all that pestiside. I didn't even see one wasp drop. Man we took off like a couple little kids with big dogs chasing them. Later on we decided to use the hose which prevented them from flying, and just ended up stomping on them.

 

i am laughing my ass off right now..... "like a little girl".

Oh that reminds me, I got inside my car once.. the top was up.. and I look over to the right and behind me to back out of my garage, and I see his honking wasp sitting on the rear window -- ON THE INSIDE.... I was like oh shhh..... So I backed the car up holding my breath and then got out of the car to catch my breath... and looked inside again and it wasn't there anymore! I didn't see it fly out so I was like oh great it's gonna kill me next time I VTEC... I put the top down and searched and searched and never found it again. Scary!

s2kblk, how did those wasps have time to make a nest, it's not your daily driver eh?

 

Ahh Get 'em off me man, Get 'em off me
