I like them! They've got a great style and they're perfectly chill when people aren't trying to swat them. I always let them land on my hand so I can look at them.
You can shoo them away from food a few times and they'll generally just go elsewhere.
Since I was stung three times out of nowhere, one time just by sitting around, not moving at all: Nope, the moment they try landing on me I freak out.
Your approach is definitely a popular one, although I don't advise it.
I wouldn't call freaking out an approach unless you answered the wrong OP

For sure, but in written text not obvius enough for me in many cases.
