What is wrong with people handling garden hoses?

I found myself having to replace the hose coupling several times a month. Except this time the problem was not the plastic coupler on the hose, I
replaced that already and it is still leaking. Here is an image:

I have indicated in blue lines where the water is jetting out when I turn on
the spigot. It is not the black coupler attached to the hose. It is the
metal coupler above it. However I tried removing it with a plier, no luck.
It is locked tight. I tried for 2 hours and ended up stripping the metal.
This is the part I need to replace but it's not coming off. I tried WD40 and
still no luck.

the threads may be striped on the faucet in which case you may need to
call a plumber and have the spigot (faucet) replaced. There is a type
of tape good for wrapping threads on male connections that acts like a
gasket. get at plumbing dept. Or the gasket in the female connection
(hose end) may have fallen out.

I looked at photo.. curious..what on earth is all that stuff on top of
the pipe???? ground wire? ...just curious.
good luck.. lee
