OMG, he'd never do it, but I would watch videos of that on a loop all day long.
Should have put a H on it so everyone would know.
The sad part is now the thief will get all the hornet honey : /
Always pop a quick H on your hornet-filled Shop-Vacs
“I anxiously await your unboxing video,” he wrote.
Lmao
That and the final line “Don’t steal people’s stuff, it might be filled with bees” are my favorite
Five to 30 stings a day?!
A former web developer, he had been searching for something more adventurous.
When you're so sick of end users that you'd rather be stung by fucking murder hornets.
Nah, not murder hornets. Just the regular kind. Pain hornets.
Stinging insects or idiotic end users?
Honestly tough choice
More like dickhead clients that can’t make up their mind.
If only there was a big H on there, so we know it's full of hornets.
He thought the H was for honey.
Waiting for the follow up story.....
Now I'm getting ideas to leave an Amazon box full of these on my porch
You might get some enjoyment out of Mark Rober's series where he builds contraptions to mess with porch pirates. Nothing directly harmful like wasps, but he builds a box that basically records the thief, glitter bombs them, sprays bad smells, and in some later iterations, has an ominous countdown and fake police radio.
He also tries to catch some people who break into parked cars the same way, but with much less success as they turned out to be a lot more organized and scarier.
Getting them in there may be tricky
Just vacuum them with the box. Problem solved.
Boromir has entered the chat, "theres no just vacuming them with the box"
You just order them from Amazon and don't bring the package
The lesson was simple, he said.
“Don’t steal other people’s stuff — it might be filled with bees.”
Bee on the lookout.
Meanwhile in the local hospital...
Alright, I got a good hearty chuckle out of that one.
Instant karma gonna getchu
Gonna knock you off your feet
Gonna sting you in many places
I'm just wondering what operating procedure the guy normally goes through with the hornets.
He could fill the vac with poison before opening, but then why didn't he just use that in the best in the first place?
He may release them. With bee swarms it's common practice to starve them for a day before putting them into their new hive. That way they don't immediately swarm/leave again. Wouldn't be surprised if something like that works with hornets too. Starve them a bit then release them in the woods.
FYI no need for poison. Just use dish-soap water. (Works for bees at least and their carapace is the same material as hornets/wasps)
Article said he puts down the hornets. And I don't blame him at all..
Don't put your dick in that.
Unless you're looking for a viagra replacement
Please consult your doctor if effects last more than 4 hours
lol, reminds me of Mattias Wendel's Bee Sucking Machine
Wasp sucking machine XL
He must got straight to hornet jail
