Cmon man, he wasn’t even close! That’s the one thing I don’t mess with is spiders. I know they gang up on you when your sleeping lol. I leave them alone as long as they leave me alone!

Where did all my money go?
In all seriousness, I did test that hose faucet.
I am like you, but when it comes to bees. Don’t like them because I am allergic, but don’t get freaked out about them being near me. Live and let live….

Hey I make the same deal with bees too. Except those cicada killers…they won’t leave you alone…I’m not a damn cicada!

Yellow Jackets are the ones that will sting you for no apparent reason. I commonly refer to them as “Asshole with Wings”.
I don't think they'll sting you will they?

They can, but rarely do. You’d basically have to handle one pretty carelessly to make one sting you.
I put 3 or 4 yellow jackets in a guy's pants pockets in the lockers at work (in another life when I worked on drilling rigs). Convinced him they were building a nest in there.

The killers? No but that doesn’t stop them from scaring the living shit out of me every time.
The real issue was the neighbors lawn. I don’t know if they are in a life cycle thing but we didn’t see any this year.
To compare lawns is like my lawn is like a rainforest…the neighbors is like the desert. And these guys just loooove the desert. Lol
Yep, they like dirt. My neighbor’s yard was the same way, so I started boiling water in my kettle and pouring it down the holes. Usually does the trick, in at least killing the larvae and you’ll hear it if an adult cicada wasp is in there.
Also a tennis racket works pretty well, in killing them. It will cut them in half and you’ll be set. I’ve never been stung by one, but I’ve read that the only they would is if they got in your clothing or something similar.

So I’m at this house today (duh), and I’m working with a new agent who in my eyes is just a kid at about 25 ish years old. I’m inspecting the exterior GFCI outlet by the rear deck and I see these two metal tabs sticking out of the receptacles. I jokingly say “Touch them and let me know if they’re live.” Didn’t even think for a minute he was dumb enough. Well, he was! Somehow poor guys wedding ring completed the circuit and it looked like he was arc welding with sparks and slag flying everywhere. The female client screamed, and when it was all done he had tears running down his face, along with some nice burns on his fingers. I’ve got this weird defense mechanism quirk where when people get hurt, I start to laugh (even if I don’t think it funny). So, I’m cracking up uncontrollably and the client is yelling at me “WTF is wrong with you” until I explain myself. The black marks weren’t there before he did that, and by the way, I did think it was freaking hilarious. 
Probably won’t see him again….
ETA: I did feel bad about his wedding ring. That got all jacked up.

If he was dumb enough to touch it, he deserved to get lit up like a Christmas Tree!

Where did all my money go?
I was thinking it was some type of cheap/defective cord that the owner went to unplug and the metal prongs detached and were left in there.
