To refuse to move from the lounge?

[ImposterSyndrome101]

There's a massive bee or wasp buzzing around my room. AIBU to take up camp in the lounge until it's gone?

My housemates think I'm being silly but I'm very allergic to bee and wasp stings so don't want to risk going in and trying to remove it myself or going in and just hoping it goes away on it's own.

My main concern right now is what if it doesn't leave and just settles there and I go back in without knowing and get stung. Last time I ended up in A&E and I'd rather not repeat it.

At this time of year, it's probably a queen bee looking for somewhere to build a nest. Terrifying but actually very unlikely to sting. I would go in and open the window and waft it out. I had to do this for three of the bastards on Sunday, and I'm allergic too, but live on my own, so there's no alternative. You definitely need to make sure it's gone out, otherwise you'll never feel safe in there.

Get your housemates to open the windows and try and get rid of it. Can't believe they wouldn't offer to help as you are allergic tbh. No your not BU

Three of my housemates are terrified of them, another has said that if it's still there when they get back they'll get rid of it for me (they'd of done it then but they were rushing out to work) and the only other one who would help in a heartbeat left before it appeared.

Any other creepy crawly I'd be fine but anaphylaxis is terrifying and more importantly life threatening.

Of course you are not BU.

That said, anyone can get into anaphylaxis shock after a sting, but if you know you will, you would be insane to risk it.

You are so not unreasonable! I can't beleive your housemates won't do it for you. There's being scared of bees and there's being deathly allergic, one of them needs to pull up their sock and waft that lady bee right back out again.

I would have got it out for you!

If they are not allergic saying they are "terrified " in these circumstances (I.e. your real reason to fear) is a bit pathetic.

Tell the 3 that are terrified to FUCK OFF AND GET IT OUT IT COULD KILL YOU!

I have a real (diagnosed, treated etc) phobia about spiders but, in a push, if someone would die because of one, I like to think I would woman up to the task!

Your housemates really don't get to abdicate their responsibility in this!

Shut the door on it, when your housemate returns get them to wait until it lands somewhere and put an up turned glass on it, slide an envelope or card under it and release it outside. Don't tackle it yourself, that said it's unlikely to sting you, wasps on the other hand . . . .

Where are you, OP? Would you like me to come and collect your bee?

Well you can't make them go in but are they aware of the severity of it or is it coming across as one big laugh?

4 people in the house either terrified or allergic to bees!

Maybe you could wear thick coat and gloves and a hat when you go in to open a window? Surely you need to get things from your room anyway?
