Passengers at airports with a lot of time on their hands are usually seen reading a book, browsing social media on their phones or taking a power nap. But one bloke at Oregan's Portland International Airport was caught indulging in an activity that is mostly carried out at home, malls or entertainment centres.

The man in question was caught playing videogame on one of the airport's information monitors. The moment was caught on camera by a man called Stefan Dietz. Later, he shared on Twitter with the caption, "This guy has his video game plugged into one of the airport monitors."

According to an airport spokesperson, the man had plugged his PlayStation 4 into a monitor that displays the map of the Portland International Airport.

Around 4:30 am, the unnamed man nonchalantly took over the monitor and started playing the popular battle royale game Apex Legends. But his session was soon interrupted by airport officials, who asked him to unplug the game from the monitor. The man politely asked the officials to let him finish his game but was denied permission.

"We would love travelers to plug into our power outlets, but just ask that they don't plug into anything else," said airport spokesperson, Kama Simonds.

Although the incident didn't result in any confiscation, dispute or arrest, it sure garnered a lot of interest reactions on social media.

While some users said airports should have spaces for gaming, many said the man's actions were unacceptable and officials should've confiscated his console.

A user wrote, "Airports should have spaces where you can connect your console to a display or a space where you can use your pc."

"I can't believe he actually thought that was a good idea," wrote another.
