I don't think I was ever stung by a wasp, and I even held one in my hand once.

I've had a wasp fly up to me, land on me, sting me, and fly off, for no fucking reason! It has happened more than once. They're assholes.

I have the same experience. I act very carefully around them not to threaten them. I also put a tiny bit of my food on the side for them when they get interested - I love watching them eat. They're like little insect tigers - striped, fierce, but tiny!
