Man sits in lawn chair and reads newspaper in traffic jam on busy highway

Another day, another traffic jam, another line of motorists ground to a halt.

And then one of them gets out a lawn chair, plops himself down and whiles away the time by browsing the newspaper.

The images, taken on route I-95 near the city of Danvers in Massachusetts, were captured by Marc Fortier, a journalist who was apparently caught up in Tuesday morning’s jam.

“Unbelievable. One person is sitting in a lawn chair on I-95 drinking coffee and reading the paper,” he wrote on Twitter.

“Just a guy reading the paper in the middle of I-95. Typical Tuesday.”
