Off topic aside but you can definitely make friends with wasps. If you don’t swat at them and let them figure out what you are they won’t sting you. If you’re aware of where the nest is, even better.
Heaven forbid you’re near ones nest and don’t know though. Then they hate you. Otherwise you can talk to them and they’ll know what’s up and leave.
Not all wasps are like that: some species nest alone, and some are pretty vicious. It depends where you live and what species are around, so everyone please do some research before you act like this around wasps in your area.
I agree, and it’s also important to note that they tend to be more aggressive at the end of the Summer/beginning of Fall.
Also in my experience they HATE hairspray.
Yea. As their food supply dwindles in the fall (after first frost), they get real mean around here.
Also they aren't fans of hairspray plus a lighter.

Brake clean is the best wasp spray on the planet.
Oh no I meant it more as a “if you are wearing hairspray they will absolutely charge you and ruin your day”
One of their primary predators is the hyper-aggressive and territorial Asilidae / robber fly / assassin fly. These flies are fast enough to land on a wasp's back mid-air and deliver a bite strong enough to disable their prey. It will hurt more than a sting, for much longer.
We call those brown wasps dirt dobbers around here.
You can tell them apart from the red bastard wasps by looking at their stinger area, dirt dobbers stinger is connected to their body with a thin tube-like extension. Where the red wasps stinger is directly connected to their body.
Also dirt dobbers build their nest from mud, where the red wasps build theirs from paper.
The red wasps are highly aggressive and should be delt with before their numbers grow to much.
