I mean reason why I brought it up is because they can kill you. They can basically entrench themselves in various spaces of your body, especially your hair. It's very hard to get rid of them, let alone stop them from attacking you. Wasps can also be antagonistic to bees. Which stinks, as we need those guys!

Back when I was a kid, people used to go to parks and grill at those grill stations regularly in the summertime. They'd have little wooden gazebo like joints, and wasps loved to hang out in them. They're kind of not vogue anymore, but I remember something very similar to what you're talking about. People actually sort of stopped using them typically because of random wasp attacks.
