lubylou   10 #1 Posted September 23, 2007 I dont know about anyone else, but if there is a wasp on a bus that your on, as there was this morning with me, it always decides to come to you, nobody else, just you, or on the windows. Can they smell fear? I hate the bloody things, why do they have to come to me, i end up looking demented, flapping my arms around screeching, is it just me?

Zebra   10 #2 Posted September 23, 2007 Apparently they go for people with certain hair colours as well as though wearing particular colours. Lighter hair has some greater involvement with UV light or something which attracts wasps like you're a giant flower. I get hassled by them all the time. Was sat with Cosywolf for a few mins in a lovely place earlier this week and had to give up and go inside after being buzzed 3 times in under 3 minutes. Vile things!

ShinyPurple   10 #5 Posted September 23, 2007 There was one on my bus last week - I ignored it until I felt movement & buzzing in my hair I didn't want to move my head or touch my hair in case it stung me.  Then I realised that someone had opened the window behind me & that was what was ruffling my hair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
julado   10 #6 Posted September 23, 2007 If a wasp is near me - be it on a bus or at home - I point to the nearest exit and say "that way"....and surprisingly most wasps comply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
lubylou   10 #7 Posted September 24, 2007 If a wasp is near me - be it on a bus or at home - I point to the nearest exit and say "that way"....and surprisingly most wasps comply.  I tried that but it just looked at me as if to say, "yeah, right, as if, when i have got a scared 1 here, im not going nowhere" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Alex C. Â Â 10 #8 Posted September 24, 2007 I'm petrified of them - I have once got off a bus and made myself late for work because I couldn't stand knowing there was a wasp nearby. Â Thankfully, I haven't seen any wasps this year, except occasionally in nightmares I thought they were becoming extinct. Â Even more thankfully, I don't need to catch buses anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Rivelin6 Â Â 11 #9 Posted September 24, 2007 On the way to Whitby this summer I caught a tram from my house and was stung twice by a wasp whilst on there. It looked like I'd been bite by a vampire as it was right on my neck bone- it was sore for many days.The next time I got on the tram another wasp was flying about and I squashed it on the window as soon as it landed, not wanting to have a repeat performance.

Â Mmmmmm maybe i should expand on my fears now you mentioned them! in fact i hate ALL things with more than four legs with a passion. Wasps are trickey to wack, sometimes they avoid you and dive sting at you. Bloody things! Even hear them buzzing breaks me out in a cold sweat.
