Title: #*$&%ing Yellow Jackets!!! Post by: rueben on September 09, 2011, 01:03:01 PM So let me preface this little story with the following:
Two weeks ago I was on duty at the FD and we are standing by on scene with a large tree across some powerlines. Due to the terrain, we were sitting a good deal away form the tree, and waiting on the Utility Dept to show up. It was pretty late at night, and very dark in the fire engine. I started to re-position myself in the seat, and I dropped my hands down in my lap . BAM! I get nailed on the outer edge of my hand by a small flying creatutre. I Never saw what stung me because it was dark. Last week me and ther boy are out for a little road trip just to get out of the house. We are headed down to the state line to by some lottery tickets. In the jeep with the top and doors off. I am wearing some cargo shorts. I feel something on my outer thigh, inside the cargo shorts. Seems a wasp had flown into the leg of my shorts and he ain't happy! Pow!!! Sting # 2 in two weeks. So yesterday I am out clearing some brush, and a I feel something kinda buzz my face. Before I can shoo it away, "BLOOM"! But all of a sudden "POW" on my arm , "ZING" on my knee!!! I realized exactly what it was. I took off, and in the first 40 yards I passed Trent Richardson like he was sitting still. (Well, I could have anyway!!!) I make it to the back door and feel hits on my calf and one on each ankle. Plus one on my middle finger of my right hand. I finally get them all off of me and make it in the back door. (No way I could take a chance of bringing one in and it stinging my Boo). 50 mg of benadryl and a pepcid later, and I still look like I fought rocky with my right eye and right hand all swole up. And left knee not much better. I know that God has a reason for every creature, but there are a few Imma ask him about when we meet! Yellow Jackets Wasps to start with!

Title: Re: #*$&%ing Yellow Jackets!!! Post by: KoKoPuf on September 10, 2011, 10:06:42 AM Wasps & Yellow Jackets hate me with a passion! I guess it goes back to when I used to destroy their nests as a kid. If I am in a group, I am the one who gets stung. If I walk near a nest, they attack. And they seem to hurt more every year!

I used to cut my aunt's yard and every year I would run over a next. anywhere from 5-10 stings. The ones on the head and face are ROUGH.

Title: Re: #*$&%ing Yellow Jackets!!! Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on September 12, 2011, 08:26:13 PM Years ago, I was cutting grass one evening. I was minding my own business pushing my fine Walmart -Murray 21 inch push mower. All of sudden (BLOOM!). I felt my legs were on fire and starting to burn. I looked down and no less than 6-8 yellow jackets were stinging me through my jeans. SOB! SOB!
Last year I walked out of my basement door and the second I did (BLOOM!) one of them stung me right on my face just to the side of my eyeball. SOB! SOB! Another time I was at work. I had went outside, to take a break. I was sitting at the picnic table drinking A Mt. Dew. I picked up my drink to take a swallow and (BLOOM!) got stung right on the friggin end of my tongue. I instantly got a very thick tongue and couldn't speak but broken English.TOB! TOB! TOB! Title: Re: #*$&%ing Yellow Jackets!!!

Post by: rueben on September 14, 2011, 08:57:24 PM When I was very young I was mowing my grandfather's front lawn. I got ate up by the lil' yellow demons. That night I went into convulsions and had to got to the e/r. I took a lot of stings to the head, which may well explain the way I am today...
Title: Re: #*$&%ing Yellow Jackets!!! Post by: #1Tidefan on September 15, 2011, 02:56:55 AM I hate'em! They killed my dog at a lake fishin one time. The poor rascal had apparently hiked his leg on the wrong tree to do his thing, when they swarmed him...
I tried and cried, when I could do nothin to save him. I got several stings just tryin to approach him, to no avail. The poor dog, just kept biting at them, rather than heeding my call to jump in the lake. One of the worst days of my life...I HATE those lil yella %$#@*&$@! >:( Title: Re: #*$&%ing Yellow Jackets!!!

Quote Angry bees sting 4 men at California storage yard LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Thousands of angry bees swarmed a man in a wheelchair, sending him and three others who came to his aid to the hospital in the Southern California city of Santa Ana. The attack also shut down a street and forced the evacuation of several businesses while beekeepers removed the hive, which was estimated to contain 60,000 bees. Snyder said DNA tests were planned to determine if the bees were Africanized because of their aggressive behavior. On Wednesday, Africanized bees swarmed several farm animals and killed a 1,000-pound hog at a farm in Bisbee, Ariz. An 800-pound pregnant sow also was stung so many times that it went into a coma and lost its litter. Title: Re: #*$&%ing Yellow Jackets!!!
