The flight of wasps - Why side to side?

Anyone noticed when wasps fly around they fly from side to side whereas other flies tend to fly in a more straight orientation, one of those things you wonder about...

I try to stay away from those critters no matter which way they're flying.  Why are they so damned mean?
