So I go to use one of the hoses at the shop today. Haven't used it since last fall. It's been disconnected and coiled up outside. I hook it to the faucet, put a nozzle on the end. Turn on the water, squeeze the trigger, and hardly any water comes out. WTF? There's tons of pressure, the hose is hard as a rock, but little coming out the end. I turn off the water, let the pressure bleed down, take the nozzle off, and am greeted by a very wet, very large, very angry hornet.
He must have been overwintering inside the hose.
