Yes, petrified of them, to the degree that seeing one will make my eyes start watering with worry as well as break into a sweat and heart starts racing
Yes, I am.
I seem to get stung at least once a year, and I always think it's not as painful as I expect it to be. But as soon as I see one buzzing near me, I panic :eek::D
Nope. Just find them a bit irritating. I even got stung on the knee by one when I was about four and wasn't too upset apparently. Earwigs, on the other hand, make my skin crawl
They are tiny little flies basically, that do no harm if you don't bother them, no they are not scary, if they do sting you then it's hardly the end of the world.
However if your allergic to them.....then yes, you could have grounds to be wary of them.
If your near a wasps nest then yes I'd imagine they're somewhat annoying but if your sitting near a wasps nest then your an idiot
We're told not to flap at them, but the only time i've remained calm and not flapped, was the only time i've been stung, on the neck, of all places. Could have been very nasty.
Let the little sods settle on you, and they WILL sting you.
I'm not scared but I am respectfully wary of them. The last few days I've been photographing them on a slices of apple and drinking nectar from a bottle cap. I have to have my hands within about three or four inches of them but they haven't stung me yet.
I was sat in my car on lunch break and I had one fly into my car, so I got out and opened the doors. A very helpful guy at work said "it won't urt thee" (he has a ridiculously strong, inbred accent), I was like, "it can sting"... See, some people just talk total bollocks to try and come across as manly, when they actually just sound retarded.
Sorry, but I don't want to be in a confined space with a buzzy little thing that can inflict moderate amounts of physical pain on me, and if anyone else is honest, they don't either. I bet he runs away like a little girl when he gets a wasp in his car

This is when they can be dangerous as you see one in your rear view mirror and you're concentrating more on the wasp than the road. Also it could be dangerous if you get stung and crash the car. Never drive with the windows down this time of year as I drive through a lot of wooded areas where wasps like to hang out.
We seemed to be free of them until the middle of August and now they're out in force. Luckily they'll start dying out soon.
Yes I thought we were going to have another relatively wasp free summer like last year but nope, mid August they start visiting flowers and woe betide you if you have wooden structures in your garden!

Exactly the same here except I've been stung three times when minding my own business! I'm terrified of them and found the sting on the neck really painful. Horrible things!

Bees I like a lot.

No, I love having them around.
One wasp perched itself on my bedside table and hasn't moved since.

This year, really haven't encountered that many, luckily.
