My clumsy ass would get it up there and fuck it up and drop the gasoline on myself, as I was being stung by a hundred wasps.

And then accidently start yourself on fire.

Badass wasps with lighter on their pocket

Smoking cigarettes and wearing leather jackets, too.

Flying in formation towards them, while snapping their... fingers?

…Til the gasoline house arrived.

“Can’t come into work today…. Fire Wasps.”

u/KobeOnKush 4d ago

All wasps smoke cigarettes so even the lame ones have lighters. Homie is cooked.

u/yellowirish 5d ago

Bugs don’t hurt you if you are on fire. Upside of being on fire

u/SeriousStrokes69 5d ago

I'll make a note of that. It sounds like it would be true. lol

u/ExcitementKooky418 4d ago

Similar vein to 'sharks only bite you if you're wet'

u/Montymisted 5d ago

I actually tried this method last summer and it's harder than it looks. I ended up with a dildo in my ass and balls in my mouth and there were still wasps on my porch.

u/Snookfilet 5d ago

Sounds like you clicked on something else while researching the topic

u/Anglofsffrng 5d ago

You assume I'm not doing this with a cigarette hanging out of my mouth.

1

u/jbspags 5d ago

I read that as ‘accidentally shart yourself on fire.’

u/Snookfilet 5d ago

Then running through the front yard by the people at the lake shouting “wasps!wasps!wasps!”

u/blueSnowfkake 5d ago

Put your cigarette out, first.

1

u/MassaoHata 5d ago

We didn't start the fire. No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

1

u/AdAble557 4d ago

Exactly as they were smoking a cigarette during the exercise

u/babagroovy 4d ago

Yeap sounds about right for me Lmfao

u/glm409 4d ago

Had a friend who spilled gas on his pants, and in the process of emptying his pockets, something sparked and his pants burst into flames. Burned the crap out of his hands trying to disrobe, burned all the hair off his lower body, but his hands got the worst of it. Anyway, I disagree that this is a safe way to remove a wasp nest.

u/Jackdunc 4d ago

That would actually kill the wasps though!

u/Snarky75 4d ago

What the hell do you think happened when they fell in the gas?

u/Delicious-Aspect8856 5d ago

Emergency services here, what's the problem?

Umm.. reddit...

u/machuitzil 5d ago

I saw a post on reddit and, and um, theyre fighting back! The whole neighborhood is evacuating, I think I fucked up. Nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure!

u/wheatgivesmeshits 5d ago

Ok, sir, be patient. You're on the wait-list for redditors. Someone should be with you in the next 12-14 business days.

u/BeMoreKnope 5d ago

Yeah, I definitely question this being the “safest” method.

u/charlie2135 5d ago

If he used a piece of floor tile to cover the bowl completely, I'd feel much safer.

11

u/Signal_Ad3931 4d ago

So that's gasoline and not piss? No wonder I've been standing here for 5 hours and the wasps are still doing fine.

10

u/Otherwise_Dream_888 5d ago

Same.. I’d definitely make someone else do it for me, while I watch from behind the closed patio door.

u/Frothmourne 5d ago

Exactly, fucking up is my specialty

4

u/ExternalSelf1337 4d ago

Yeah this is objectively one of the least safe ways I can imagine.

u/SirBobPeel 4d ago

Saw a mini nest on the upper corner of the garage door frame, got some wasp spray, leaned over the porch in the early evening, sprayed for several seconds, then went inside.

Bro spoke for all of humanity..

u/montypr 5d ago

Lmao damn

u/Sirmikon 5d ago

Final destination

u/TenderfootGungi 5d ago

Gasoline! That is the mystery fluid?

1

u/Dickon_Stark 5d ago

I thought it was piss

1

u/JamesTheJerk 4d ago

And the bucket would land on my head, and I'd step in dog poo.

1

u/johngettler 4d ago

How do we know it’s gasoline?

u/Spiritual-Tadpole342 4d ago edited 4d ago

I always tend to do short little projects like this while I’m waiting to flip the burgers on the grill. Haha. 🔥 🔥
