The best laid plans to get to work for residents in a small Utah were scuppered after a massive herd of sheep blocked the road.
Anyone attempting to pass through the area (and the sheep) were told they can continue but should drive "very, very slowly".
The disruptive flock blocked a road in the Manti-La Sal National Forest near Price, Utah, on Monday.
The local Forest Service posted a video of the herd misbehaving with the quip: "Monday morning traffic jams are the worst."
In the footage, sheep block the road as far as the eye can see. All that can be heard is their baaing and the clanging of the bells around their necks.
According to the service these kind of blockages are more common around this time of year as the livestock moves through the forest.
They also warned it's not just sheep that motorists should be looking out for. As these sheep belong to farmers, care should be taken for any shepherds and their dogs.
They continued: "Please make sure to take your time, especially around those blind turns, and be respectful if you come across animals on the road.
"Remember there are people and working dogs assisting with flock or herd moves, so patience and paying proper attention to the road is critical. In this instance, you can continue driving very, very slowly through the flock."
Although fairly docile creatures, sheep can cause trouble wherever they're found.
Police officers in the UK had to chase a rogue runaway sheep on a busy stretch of road after it escaped.
Officers in Lincolnshire Police thanked the public for helping them to catch the animal and return it to a field so that both the sheep and road users were kept safe.
The sheep was seen running on the A158 in Horncastle, Lincolnshire and was "safely caught" and returned to the field from where it came by police.
LincolnshireLive reports some people made light of the unusual situation and said officers caught it before it could commit a "ram raid."
Officers also said "thank ewe" to the public that helped them to catch the sheep and return it to a field so that both the sheep and road users were safe.
