    Do you think they printed the label before or after catching it? I like to believe this cup sat on the shelf waiting for its time to shine.

    I do love the visual of a barista panicking about the wasp, but being unable to do anything about it until their coworker, who is also having a meltdown, types, prints, and applies the label to the cup before handing it to them to catch the wasp

    Wasps dont harm me. I don't even know if I'm allergic to wasp toxin. 🤔

    I mean, dogs or horses or even cows could hurt me. But I don't harass them, so they don't.

    Or am I just lucky with those wasps all the time?

    I’ve never been stung, and was always under the impression that they only sting if bothered, but the other day our family was at the beach and my niece got stung just sitting around doing nothing.

    A certain time of the year here they get so aggressive that it's inevitable if you are outdoors enough. They go for your eyes, so yeah,"don't harass them"

    I’ve been stung once and the actual sting hurt a little bit but after that it just itched for a couple of hours.

    Normally the paper wasps around here are totally chill but this one managed to get caught inside my shirt somehow and decided it was time to go to war.

    As someone who has been stung dozens of times by probably at least a half dozen wasps and a few bees... The sting is incredibly variable.

    I was doing some yardwork with my daughter and this nest must have been in a shrubby area we were tossing clippings into and one stung my hand and I saw one land on her ear and instantly grabbed her and ran. That was the worst sting I ever had felt and those buggers were small. Now my daughter is terrified of any pollinator.

    I spent like 30 minutes icing my sting and she spent like 2 hours screaming with an inflammed ear as I attempted to help her ice it.

    I am curious of there are different toxin types and different allergies... Like would those little buggers bring the same pain to everyone.

    Not sure if it's regional, but I despise wasps with a passion. I don't harass them, bit they sure as fuck harass me. The try to fly into my face, my food, my clothes, etc. and then when they inevitably get stuck or upset, they start stinging. I've been stung multiple times by wasps and it hurts like hell and is always their fault. Bees are chill, European Hornets are okay (because they tend to just ignore you), but those yellow and black wasps can rot in a special super hell.

    You've probably just been lucky. I found out I wasn't allergic when as a tween I licked on my lollipop and without noticing a wasp had sat right where I put my tongue. That could've been a real bad way to die, with a swollen tongue. Bunch of free ice cream though, so that was lucky.
