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.
