So there I was minding my own business, just upped the weights on my bar by 10kg, struggling on 3rd set rep 8, 2 reps to go, final push, grit my teeth, arms wobbling, red face, take the strain…….and a wasp appears like a gunship on the horizon, level with my eyes coming right for me!

Screamed like a girl, bar got bailed over my head, big hole in concrete garage floor (it missed the rubber mats).

Wasp was then set about with a rolled up newspaper, stunned it and finished it off with a good dose of WD40 and muc-off bike spray.

little buggers wont mess with me in my man cave again!!!

well that one certainly won’t.

pin it to the door as a heads-up to the others with a very, very small sign underneath ‘warning – armed response’

I think you may be missing the point with all this atavism, “weight-lifting in my mancave” stuff, princess 😉

I had to look up the word atavism, and still dont understand the above post.

He’s suggesting that whilst in your head you’re beating your chest going “I ARE MAN RAWR!!” the reality of the fact is that you’re a big girl’s blouse.

true dat

In summary then

So there I was struggling…grit my teeth, arms wobbling, red face, take the strain…….Screamed like a girl, my big hole was then set about, finished off with a good dose of muc.

The only good wasp ?.

Is a dead wasp.

Try Hornets every bloody year.
Even a can of very strong wasp killer takes 5mins or so to disable fully a hornet after having covered it till it was pure white stuff.

Thread title of the year 🙂

Can I recommend a flip flop which takes 0.01 seconds, but does require not being a big girl 😉

I’ve been stung by a hornet and it didn’t hurt *that* much.

Mtfu I think. Wasp stings don’t hurt that much.

They vary imo. When I’ve been stung out riding or even outside doing something active it’s been a nasty pinprick, nothing more. When I’ve been stung (admittedly on the head) whilst not doing much it’s hurt like hell and swollen up for days.

priapism? 😀

Lol at Tazzy. Ouch tho!
