A man traveling through Oregon’s Portland International Airport on Thursday was caught playing a video game on one of the airport’s video monitors.
“I couldn’t believe it. You’ve got all these monitors there and he’s playing a video game,” said Stefan Dietz, who captured the moment and tweeted it. The gamer even appeared to be talking on a headset to other players, according to Dietz.
The monitor typically displays a map of the airport, assisting travelers with the locations of restaurants and bathrooms. But at 4:30 in the morning it was instead overtaken by the man and his PlayStation 4, according to airport spokeswoman Kama Simonds.
