I was actually expecting the end of the story to have the wasp at some point sting you just because of existing.
Not all wasps are like that, the smaller mud daubers and such are rather bee-like in their apathy of you being around them. But hornets. Yeah, they’re evil.
This might vary by region but here in
Central Europe hornets are pretty chill. They don’t stray too far from their nests and eat all sorts of less agreeable critters. If anything smaller wasps have something of a reputation here but they’re really not that bad either unless they gang up on you. Most encounters go south because people start flailing about. If you remain calm and careful not to squash them you can simply coexist.
Hornets look scary as fuck but you are right that they are very chill. And they don’t tend to live near houses as much as the common wasp. But I think the hornets in North America are the same. Introduced by Europeans.
Maybe they are more aggressive in North America, maybe Americans just don’t know how aggressive wasps can be.

All wasps are an important part of the decomposition cycle. Some also tend to decompose your happiness.

He understood the wasp, maybe they’re so ornery because no one understands what they want. He’s The Wasperer.
OTOH, I’d bet it will return and harass and probably sting the next customer that doesn’t give it a piece of their tuna sushi.
Wasp are arseholes. But yes, hornets are terrifying.
