Open a window, and shoo it away with paper! Alternatively, kill it, with a larger wad of paper. I managed to stomp 2 wasps whilst they were flying once. Their fault for flying that low to the ground.
If I leave them for too long, my dog tries to eat them, and she's allergic to wasps. So I have to kill and/or remove them, or my dog gets properly screwed up. Oh, my mother and younger brother are also allergic to wasps. I guess it's for their benefit too...

Quick question - how many experience points did you get for defeating the wasp? It sounds like a difficult enough battle to have been worth a few!

Open a window and leave them to their business, usually.

Eventually they tend to get the hint...

No, that was mean, and you may have an allergy. I always use something with vinegar or bleach, like window cleaner. Spray it at their face or wings and it pretty much foams up so they can fly from being so wet and heavy. Then again, I never have to worry about bugs. I have a bunch of small spiders in my room, so they usually catch whtaever flies/crawls in. That and once a month,, I spray RAID in all the holes in my walls or wood i find, then caulk them, then place something like a board or playwood, or wallpaper of them.
I just moved into a new house and I never had to deal with bugs in my old room. Maybe a spider once every few months. In this new house however its like someone loaded up a dumptruck filled with annoying shit with wings and dumped it into my window. Since then I've been battling off moths and other unknown flying bastards with my flyswatter. They're annoying but they die to the flyswatter.

There are so many of the little bastards getting through my closed, locked, windows that yesterday I saw a spider and didn't kill it in hopes he would help me out with this shit. This is highly uncharacteristic for me because if anything has more than 4 legs it needs to die.

Anyway I'm not allergic (at least to my knowledge) but I was stung as a small child and I've been scared of the things since. Outdoors when they start bugging me I usually just move but I'm not used to dealing with them indoors, let alone in my own damn room.
Well, go get one of those sprays or things you plug into teh wall you see on Tv. Personally, they dont bother me as much. Ive lived in a yard where we had five different and seperate ground bee nests in different locations and i still walked through it to go to school. If you can get over the fact they sting (and with wasps they grow stingers back, they dont die like bees), then its easier to deal with. And if all else fails, wear jeans taped tight around your ankle, tucked into your shoes, and thick long sleeved sweaters/hoodies/gloves. Also, dont yell or scream, that makes Carbon Dioxide, and CO2 PISSES wasps/bees/hornets off like nothing else, save throwing a rock through their nest.

I dinged actually. I guess some good did come out of it because I can now ride a mount but its not like that's an accomplishment anymore since Blizzard made everything so easy.

I hit it with what I have with me. Usually a fly swatter.

Calumon: I get Jack to do it. They're noisy. : (

When I was like, 14 I was at football (not soccer), and a wasp had somehow got into my hoodie. I put it on and was stung like 4 times in the neck, and my neck swelled up super bad. In that instant I nailed the wasp with a football, an extremely lucky shot since I played O-line and wasn't too handy with throwing or catching. After I found out I was allergic, I hated wasps with a vengeance, and since they're so big and slow I would slap them out of the air and step on them.

Now that I'm older, I've got a much more mellow, zen-like attitude and I just avoid them and let them be when they're outside. The exception to this was when I was taking my niece to the library last week and there was a wasp in the van as I was strapping her into her seat. In that case I just got a paper towel and squished it and put it in the garbage. But I usually let them go on about their business if they're outside.

Yeah, but the stat increase is still useful. Sounds like you'll have got a bonus to strength, dexterity, and constitution for that one.
I've been level grinding against spiders, but they barely put up a fight, and thus don't give anywhere near enough XP...

It loses the epic battle feel but a bug vacuum works wonders on bugs, as for flyers I only get flys, so they get swatted, I used to get bugs that crawled into ceiling corners at my old house, so as apposed to swatting which just knocks them down to live another day, I either drowned them in raid, or shot them with a BB gun.

i dont, i just continue to do whatever it was that i was doing until he bothers me. then i either let him out a window, catch him and let him outside or get the bee killer and a flyswatter if i am not in a charitable mood.

I can't stand the bastards so for me it's natural instinct to just kill them.

There isn't a wasp on this earth that can fly into my house and live to tell about it.

I also told by my mum, that my fear and hatred of them may stem from an incident that happen when I was a small child (Around 5 or 6.) Apparently I was stung multiple times on the check by 4 different wasps. (Funny I don't remember it happening to me, then again I was young.)

I got married, that's how.

Ok, that's a mild exaggeration, but, I can usually count on my husband to deal with anything like that.
