Let’s face it, traffic is the worst. You are late for work. You are trying to make it to a dinner date. Or you even be craving a nap in your car’s comfort. Traffic jams can turn any trip into a test of patience. Imagine a traffic jam that lasted 11 days. It stretched for 60 miles. Oh yes, you heard that right. Welcome to the world’s longest—and most mind-boggling—traffic jam: Beijing, China.

Now, to put this into perspective, imagine being stuck in your car for an entire week and a half. That’s 11 days of endless bumper-to-bumper action, with barely enough space to stretch your legs. Sounds like a nightmare, right? Well, it happened in Beijing back in 2010. Drivers were trapped on the G110 highway, which stretched from Beijing to Tibet. The traffic jam wasn’t caused by a simple fender-bender either. Oh no. This was a result of road construction, coupled with an influx of trucks hauling goods. And just like that, the traffic apocalypse was born.

What does it feel like to be stuck in a 60-mile-long parking lot? Apparently, long. And boring. Drivers, who were already dealing with the constant frustration of being immobile, had to entertain themselves in creative ways. Some people turned their cars into mini homes. They cooked meals, took naps, and even played cards in the middle of the highway. Others were seen talking to fellow drivers, forming temporary friendships based on shared misery.

Did anyone leave the jam? Yes. After 11 days, most vehicles were capable of moving again. Yet, the process was excruciatingly slow. It made even the most patient person question their life choices. The good news? The roads were finally clear! The bad news? Those drivers probably still have trauma from it.

So, how long is too long when it comes to traffic? According to this record-setting event, 60 miles of it will have you rethinking your choice to ever leave the house. If you ever find yourself stuck in a traffic jam, be thankful it’s not the Beijing 60-mile jam. After 11 days, you’d probably start naming your car.
