I hate wasps.

I had one trapped in the office today. I opened the window to let it out and the stupid thing seemed baffled by the simple task of finding which bit of the window was providing access to the outside world. It kept crawling along the pane of glass, but then when it reached the edge and felt the uPVC surround, it would turn round and walk back along the same path it had just been. After about 20 minutes of this painful, tiring slog it finally worked out that it could crawl over the edge and thus found itself near the open part of the window. At which point, instead of heading outside, it flew into the centre of the room, where it buzzed around for a while like a confused pilot, before flying straight back onto the window pane and starting its incessant crawling all over again. I watched it for ages, willing it to see sense and actually learn from what it was doing, but it was still there re-treading the same steps when I left the room to get some lunch.

So I’ve come to this conclusion: wasps are as thick as shit.
