Today, my dad wants me to spray a wasp nest, because I'm the fittest family member and can run the fastest. The wasps are already angry, and I'm allergic to them. FML

Hey everyone, in case you're wondering, I have NOT sprayed the nests yet (my dad has informed me there are around 10 nests), but I will be sure to record it, because I am an idiot. PS: Thank you all for the helpful comments, I am aware that I should wear long pants and a long shirt. However (for my favorite comment), in Texas, it is hard to find a cheap steel-forged suit of armor, as well as to craft one. More soon, David (iliveintexas, and author of this FML)

If no one in your family wants to do it, call an exterminator.

I guess being fit has it's down sides too. Lol

If you use smoke first you cab make them drowzy

this is a situation when you have anyone else to do it...maybe have your dad pay them...then he probably will not ask you to so do it again...

At least you're considered the healthiest, strongest and fastest by your entire family. Don't spray the wasp nest though. It isn't worth risking your safety. Have another friend or family member do it and if nobody will do it, call an exterminator.

And the one with the biggest ego too.

I read that early morning or late evening are the best times to do this. However, if the nest is bigger than a golf ball, I would call Orkin.

Just tell your dad to get a professional to do it. It's not just your safety that is at stake but also the people around if this goes wrong (that is if you have close neighbours). This type of stunts should never be attempted by people with no experience. It can only turn bad.
