Ask

Shoo it away like any other kind of insect.

Ignore it. A chill wasp does no harm. I have no reason to un-chill the situation.

Eat the wasp

Empty a waterglass (drink? Pour atop some other glass's content?) Then trap the wasp on the plate, ask waiters for next course of action.

Restaurant: wave in its general direction with cutlery

Home alone: get up, bat it against the wall with a piece of cardboard (specifically not squashing it, I don't want to scrape insect gore off my wallpaper), scoop it up with glass+cardboard once it's stunned, throw it out of the window.

Wasps tend to be a bit thick. Ask them kindly to get off my plate and sit in the chair. If I want them to buzz off, I typically just ask them “don’t I know you? Of that’s right, in the checkout line at the liquor store the other day” that’ll usually get them going.

But if I want them to stay, I order them a pint.

Shoo it away

Better not to piss it off. I patiently eat around it.

This actually happened to me just last week, minus the plate part. Motherfucker could not keep off of my sandwich I was holding, other than to briefly perch on my thumb now and again.

I’m not happy about the situation but I’ve been stung in the eye before and would love for that to be a one-time event.

A wasp is joining me? Religious people are crazy so ill probably let them have the plate.

I freak out and start screaming like a schoolgirl. I have had a lifelong phobia of bees and wasps. I can finally be around a bee now but wasps no way.

Don’t give me that if you don’t move bullshit either. That has got me stung at least 10 times. Been stung about 30 times in my life minding my own business.

Lean in... whisper: "I'm gonna sting your sorry ass if you don't take off."

Buzzes away. "C'ya chum!", loudly, so people look my way funnily.
