There are different kinds of wasps. Where I live, out of the many many kinds, only two are annoying in that they are aggressive and try to get your food. All others are chill and will leave you alone if you leave them alone. We had a nest outside our house one year. Often times, our paths would cross. A wasp would collide with us, just sit there in the air for a second, then fly around us. No time to chat, gotta get food for the hive. Also: bees and bumblebees will just take the day off if the weather is shitty. Wasps? MUST GET MORE FOOD. Hailstorm? Tornado? Lightning strikes five yards away? No excuse.
