Today, a wasp flew into my car. In my frantic attempt to get away from it, I got pulled over and had to prove I was driving sober. FML

chaoticcupcake tells us more.

To all those asking, I am highly allergic to bees and wasps. When I discovered I was in an enclosed space with it, my mind wasn't thinking "pull over and let it out", but rather panic. When you're scared of something, the mind doesn't always make the most logical decisions. I ended up weaving on and off the shoulder and hadn't realized a cop had his lights on behind me until he sounded his siren. I quickly pulled over and got out of my car. I had to take a breathalyzer and passed, and after explaining my ordeal, the nice man helped me get the wasp out of my car. And to those who say roll the window down: Have you ever successfully tried to get an insect out of a moving vehicle via window? I've tried this on multiple occasions and I either can't get the damned thing to go near the window, or if I do, the wind knocks them back into my car. :/

I initially read that as "flew into my ear". Still makes sense, though...

As you open the window for the cop did the wasp fly out casually like it was never there?

Just tell the cop you were "buzzed" and everything will be fine.

OR, HERE'S SOMETHING! Don't drink and drive in the first place, idiots!

I had a spider crawl down my window on my way to work once and I thought it was inside so I did the only logical thing and drove my car over a bridge.

At least you didn't go through what my auntie and cousin went through. My auntie is allergic to wasps and was trying to get it out of the car, crashed and left my cousin half blind and damaged his legs.

I know I'm going to get thumbed down for this, but I don't care. Contrary to popular belief, wasps only tend to sting when they feel threatened. The same goes for bees. By panicking and driving erratically (which of course put other people in danger), you made it more likely to sting you. Which presumably is what you were trying to avoid... Unless you have an allergy, it's a good idea to stay calm around them. And if you do have an allergy, it is a brilliant and possibly life saving idea to stay calm around them...

you deserved it if a wasp gets in pull that car over and get that mofo out safely
