To be stung by a wasp at 1.30am

i mean...I think it is bloody unreasonable of the wasp.

I just woke up to a sharp pain in my upper thigh. Thought I had been bitten. Flung off the duvet and put the light on. .. and there's a sodding tiny wasp on the floor.

My leg is on absolute fire now and it really hurts.

I mean ... The middle of the night, in bed, in nearly October and the window is shut. What the hell? I'm in agony and need to go back to sleep as I've got to get up for work in 4 hours. 😭

I've done the vinegar thing but it is still hurting like hell.

Is this an omen? What the HELL?!

Had to share with someone, if anyone is up. Ow...ow...owwww.

I had one in bed two days ago.
I only discovered it because the cat had a poo-y bum and I had to take all the bed clothes off. Which was annoying but it did save me from being stung in the night. It was dozy but how did it get there? It was right at the bottom near where it’s all tucked in all the time.

Bizarre.

I had to get rid of one from our bedroom tonight. Heard buzzing in the light, thought it was too loud for a daddy long legs! I got stung three times in 36 hours during the summer - all separate occasions so I feel your pain. Once the throb goes after an hour or so I found it more bearable. Hope you get back to sleep soon!

@Doingtheboxerbeat flipping heck. Yes, it looked half dead, even if I hadn't squashed it.

I've been stung many times before but not usually indoors or this time of year! Yes... definitely alarming! 😭

God it hurts.

This time last year , 2 joined me in my 2am shower 😱. They didn't sting me because they looked on their last legs.
It's startling to say the least to see them so late.
