The drunk Brit was seen lifting his arms in the air with his trainers in his hands as he walked along the tarmac in shorts and a shirt.
Fuming drivers were forced to call the cops after traffic on the busy road between Menorca's capital Mahon and its third-largest town Alaoir was blocked.
Authorities soon arrived at the scene in the Balearic Islands and found in a man in a "state of drunkness".
He was taken to a nearby hospital but left after reportedly refusing to receive medical attention.

He was formally identified so he could be reported to traffic chiefs and fined for putting other road users in danger.
However, just a few hours later, the man was seen taking a stroll in the middle of a busy road again - causing the traffic to stop abruptly.
He was then checked by ambulance staff and let go after authorities failed to find him a bed in a local accommodation centre, local media report.
The tourist is believed to be staying at a hotel in Ciutadella on the west of the island.

Anti-tourist measures in holiday hotspots
A WAVE of anti-tourist measures are being implemented across Europe to curb mass tourism in popular holiday hotspots.
Officials have attempted to reduce the impact of holidaymakers by implementing additional taxes on tourists, or banning new hotels.
Earlier this year Venice became the first city in the world to charge an entry fee for holidaymakers after it started charging day-trippers €5 (£4.30) for visiting the historical city centre.
It was followed by an area in Barcelona which resorted to removing a well-used bus route from Apple and Google Maps to stop crowds of tourists from using the bus.
Meanwhile, San Sebastián in the north of Spain, limited the maximum number of people on guided visits to 25 to avoid congestion, noise, nuisance and overcrowding.
The city has already banned the construction of new hotels.
The Spanish government has allowed restaurants to charge customers more for sitting in the shade in Andalucia.
Benidorm has introduced time restrictions - swimming in the sea between midnight and 7am could cost a whopping £1,000.
The Canary Islands are also considering adopting measures to regulate the number of visitors and charge tourists a daily tax.
Greece has already enforced a tourist tax during the high season (from March to October) with visitors expected to pay from €1 (£0.86) to €4 (£3.45) per night, depending on the booked accommodation.
Officials in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia want to introduce a fee for travellers to remind people to be courteous during their trips.
