We love laughing at horrible construction fails or complaining about how awful traffic becomes when an area is under construction. But have you ever stopped to think about the person on the other side of that “SLOW” sign?
You don’t need a background in construction to appreciate these 13 construction worker memes that poke fun and speak to the experience of construction workers in every day life.

If there’s one thing these memes have taught me, it’s that a) working in construction actually looks like it would be pretty fun and b) construction works are just as frustrated with life as you are.
So yeah, maybe it will take you an extra 15 minutes to get home because the overpass is being repaired, but at least you get to p*op inside.
