     @adequate @confederatehobo Pretty much. Yellow jackets are garbage. I don't mind paper wasps or mud wasps, because they're far less aggressive and will usually leave you alone if you leave them alone. yellow jackets will build a nest right next to your busy door and then get mad and sting you for walking 10 feet from it.

     @DC5FAN @adequate @confederatehobo The yellow jacket cries out in pain as it stings you (for eating a meal on your own patio).

     @DC5FAN @adequate @confederatehobo I hate everything about them. I am the kind of guy who lets most spiders go outside. I'll totally ignore the jumpy ones because they're rad and kill other spiders. Bumblebees are like the libertarians of the bee world— don't tread on them and they don't care. But yellow jackets get gassed.

     Fig wasps are important and even the parasitoid wasps help protect forests from grub invasions.

     @DC5FAN @adequate @confederatehobo I taught my kids not to be afraid of jumping spiders. We call them "jumpy boys" and they laugh when they see them jumping around. I used to have a huge bush near my house that they always nested in, and we'd regularly see half a dozen at a time running around our mudroom.

     @DC5FAN @adequate @confederatehobo Outside, yes. Inside, they're in my domain. I choose to let them live, unless they're a recluse or wolf spider because those are buttholes to everyone.

     @adequate @tyler @confederatehobo Those are usually yellow jackets, at least near me. I bought a duster and spray them with a few puffs of "Seven" and it's all ogre. If I get more this year, I'll buy a bee suit.

     I see a spider I kill a spider. Freaks have 8 legs, fangs and a bunch of eyes all over their face. I couldn't imagine anything more vile than those freaks of nature. Death is too good for them

     @The_Almighty_Kek @BowsacNoodle @Dwalrus @confederatehobo @DC5FAN They eat bedbugs!!! This is one creepy crawly that I will welcome but I would be concerned if you see more than one or two, because that means you have a smorgasbord of bugs in your house somewhere.

     @BowsacNoodle @confederatehobo stop swatting at wasps and you won't get stung by them.

     now, if they're in your house or shed or w/e, yeah, genocide 'em.

     @doctorsex @confederatehobo @lichelordgodfrey In my defense, yellow jackets are the worst of the bee adjacent world.
     >"Oh leave me be, I'm just a poor helpless little honeybee tee hee" 😏
     Then they pull a West bank and sting you for doing nothing because they want to steal your food.
     >"if I don't steal this food you're eating, somebody else will!"
     >*mimics the pattern of bees so everyone gets scared and angry at bees*
     it's like the flying jew.

     I've never had a bad interaction with any of them hh
     
     That said the honeybees will sit still for a minute and let me give them a little hug or pat or something and that's infinitely more endearing tbh

     @doctorsex @confederatehobo @lichelordgodfrey I've gotten stung so many times my forearm was the size of my calf, all because I was mowing the yard. They're just really aggressive, especially when it's peak summer and the dry weather means less nectar to steal.
