Does a day in the life of a construction worker ever go smoothly? It seems no one communicates, everyone shows up late, and we're all confused about what to do. The safety guy won't get off our backs, the new apprentice is a no-show, and we are running weeks behind schedule. But that's just part of the gig. Being a construction worker, or even a trades worker in general, you have to be able to adapt to whatever the workday throws at you. Broken equipment, missing coworkers, and even terrible weather can't stand in the way of a day on the job. But that's what keeps it exciting, I guess. You could say it's better than a predictable day in an office, hunched over a computer in an isolating cubicle, right? But it's also the reason our hair is graying and falling out. But after you get past those apprentice years and are, say, 20 or 30 years into the trade, even the most ridiculous complication that gets thrown your way is just another typical day in life. Let's laugh about our work tragedies together with these 29 hilarious construction worker memes below.
