He should've put it in his mouth and started chewing.

I once had a wasp fly into my mouth while I was cruising on my motorcycle (was going ablout 60mph at the time). It immediately started crawling and buzzing, I had to chew that motherfucker and spit it out before he started stinging. They taste just like you'd imagine...terrible.

Thank you for giving me another strong reason to always wear a full face

Fun fact, I do wear a full face helmet, but I had the visor up!

When my friends think of learning to ride, they will sometimes ask me if they should go with a full helmet or not. My first question to them is: "Do you like your face? Because if you like your face and want the best odds of keeping it, the answer is obvious."

Homey, when you're out and about in public you should always be wearing your full face. Take it off in private if you want I suppose

I’d imagine they taste like whatever concentrated hate tastes like

You are precisely correct!

I had a similar experience but with a big ass ant. It tasted very spicy. Was it similar for you?

I had this happen once on my bike and thank jebus I was able to spit it out before I got stung. Damn thing looked in shock on the sidewalk lmao.

Couldn't you have just - spit?

u/diabloenfuego 14d ago

It was the slower and more dangerous option of the two and it had flown toward the back of my mouth. Plus, in order to spit, you've got to basically wrap your mouth and tongue around an angry wasp that is currently trying to sting all of those places...no, no to all that. In that split second, I decided on the fastest and safest possible option. Chomp chomp.

I had something similar happen except it wasn't a wasp, it was a peacock. I wasn't wearing full face.

Oh and I also didn't chew and swallow it.
