Stung
Just doing a bit of pruning in the garden and cut off a dead leaf that had a paper wasp nest hanging underneath. They were not bloody impressed about it. 
I can now vouch for the fact that paper wasp stings bloody hurt. Much more so than European wasps. Ice pack seems to do the business in knocking some of the pain out of the stings.

Had a Caravan at Nagambie.... the electric on the pole blew the plug.... I had to change the plug over. So it was damn awkward working on it, especially as there was a Paper wasp nest adjacent to the power point. So there I am trimming the wires and getting the new plug ready.... however I couldnt hold the lead and screw up the plug at the same time. So I enlisted the wifes help.... got her to hold the lead whilst I connected the plug and yehp you guessed it. Down came 2 or 3 wasps and stung her.
She was pretty damn annoyed... went of got some baygon sprayed the nest and attemped to spray me. I think she was swearing for about 15 minutes.

I was stung on my finger of all places and it swelled up like a big fat ugly sausage. Bloody hurt for days.
