I thought I saw something behind my plug socket so unscrewed it – nothing could’ve prepared me for what was back there
A HOMEOWNER was left confused when they spotted what looked like something poking out from behind their plug socket.
Intrigued by what it could possibly be, the woman enlisted her partner to unscrew the socket to see what was lurking back there.
Gina DeVivo shared what happened with her followers on TikTok, and it’s safe to say no one was ready for what was hiding in her walls.
As her partner unscreed the plastic cover, Gina said she had her suspicions that the thing poking out was a plant.
Sure enough, Gina was right and there was an entire plant growing inside her wall.
“Why is there a plant growing in our wall,” she said in disbelief.
Meanwhile, her partner simply said: “Noooo whyyy.”
She captioned the clip: “I wonder how much of our wall they will have to remove.”
The post has since amassed over 1.7 million views, and people flooded the comments theorising what the plant could be.
“That’s definitely Japanese knotweed. You have to call the professionals in,” one said.
A second agreed: “Get a professional! Japanese knotweed needs herbicide or it will just keep growing back! I hope your house will be ok.”
And a third wrote: “Who do you even call at that point? Gardener? Electrician? Construction worker?”
“That’s definitley the ‘whyyyy’ of a homeowner,” another joked.
“Just put the plate back on and pretend you never saw it,” someone else commented.
“Oh that’s gonna be expensive to remove, good luck,” one person added.
