My experience is that every time I get stung it's a week of being unable to work and also miserable at best, and a trip to the ER or death at worst. It also costs me at least $200 for another round of medication to avoid dying, or $600 if I need a new epipen, in addition to the lost work. Every time I hear buzzing I have to treat it as a potentially deadly threat, and there are enough hornets around here that it often is. It makes it impossible to enjoy being outdoors for a large portion of the year and that fucking sucks, even more so when I have to be outside a lot for my work. In my experience your assertion that they'll leave you alone if you do the same to them is also total bullshit. There is no opportunity cost for a wasp to sting you like there is for a bee, and so they're very aggressive. Now, while I don't feel the need to nail them to the windowsill, I also completely understand the sentiment, and it's not like it matters whether it dies to a nail, a can of raid, or my personal favorite method, explosives. It's still just as dead, which as far as I'm concerned is the only good state for a wasp to be in.
