A man in Michigan thought he was hearing things as a buzzing sound was relentless while working on a project. Little did he know that he had a tiny wasp nest right inside his cap, freaking every viewer in sight out as a result.
The bizarre finding was shared online by Matt, who, alongside his wife Monica, runs the Living Our American Dream account online. The couple often shares DIY home projects online and outdoor living content with their followers. The clip attached above, while different from their usual posts, became one of their biggest, garnering three million views, 26,200 likes, and more than 400 comments.
The Michigan man detailed in the clip’s description that, before working on a project, he grabbed a cap from his pole barn. While working, however, he couldn’t help but notice an incessant buzzing sound, slowly but surely becoming a hassle by the second.
Desperate to find the source, Matt eventually called Monica over so she could have a listen and possibly reassure him that he wasn’t hearing things. She then grabbed Matt’s cap, and the mystery was solved: inside his cap, there was a small mud dauber nest, a home to a non-aggressive type of wasp.
“What are the odds of that?” Matt asked after laughing. “They just literally built this nest since last weekend.”
While mud dauber wasps do not bite if unprovoked, the Michigan man still got rid of the nest to prevent any further buzzing.
Reactions
Many viewers, potentially those not too fond of wasps, were shocked to see the nest inside the man’s cap. One said, “I’d cut my ear off.” Another one commented, “New fear unlocked.” A third one added, “Throw the freaking hat away. That’s what I would do.”
Other viewers didn’t believe Matt should have gotten rid of the nest. One wrote, “You’re destroying them for no reason. They literally don’t sting people.” Matt responded, “It’s in my hat that I wear when I work outside. So no, it’s not staying there. And they do sting, but very rarely.”
With buzzing no longer an issue, Matt can rest assured that he will continue his DIY projects unbothered. He might want to check on his cap more often, though.
