Working in the trades is awesome...when you're young. The pay is solid, no college degree or student loans hanging over your head, and you stay in shape without hitting the gym. But then, one day, you hit your mid-30s, and suddenly, there's an audible grunt every time you move. Your joints and back become reminders that this gig takes a toll on your body, even if you once felt invincible on the job site. Now that we're heading into the colder months, the collective groans and creaks of senior construction workers are louder than ever. The cold only makes it worse, with stiff knees and sore backs becoming part of your morning routine. So, whether you're still in the "young and spry" camp or you've officially joined the "everything hurts" club, these 34 construction worker memes are here to brighten up your 4 am weekend wake-up call. Because if you're going to work through the pain, you might as well laugh about it.
