I'm usually surrounded by paper wasps who don't really seem to care unless you actively injure them. Have been bumped many times and they contonued on their way.

I've heard yellow jackets are usually the type to screw you over because they can.

(Un)fortunately, afaik yellow jackets are actually a pretty effective means of pest control for several crops because they more aggressively collect protein for their larvae.

Sorry, that's me offering them a small speck of meat so they leave the rest of my plate alone.
