Need some LOLs that hit the nail right on the head?! You’ve come to the right place! If you’re a hardworking blue collar tradie, getting in early mornings and man-handling those power tools, then these memes are for you. We’re talking the kind of workers who down a Red Bull at 6am and a Diet Coke at 12pm. They eat with dirty hands but cheers their beers with satisfied hearts. It takes a strong person to do physical labor everyday, but for some it’s a way of life. You get up, do a hard day’s work, and take a rest that feels well earned. So why not get some well-earned LOLs in there too?
If a tradie can do one thing, it’s laugh at themselves. Because if you can’t laugh, then how can you enjoy anything?! You think building a house goes by without any tiffs? I think not! Everyone gets in some arguments, especially when the tradies are all working on one jobsite, but whatever. As long as everything gets done and no one gets (too) hurt, then you and your fellow tradies are all swapping work nightmare stories at the dive near the site. It’s a beautiful cycle. So LOL at these memes together!

One way or another, the reason that so many people are so hopelessly dependent on social media is because of the stories that it tells. We just can’t get enough of every single tale that finds its way onto the platforms, and TikTok is one of the number one places on the internet today that is good for a wide and interesting variety of narratives. One thing about TikTokers is that they aren’t shy about oversharing, and there is a plentiful nosy audience ready to enjoy that (and maybe cast some judgment).
It is a rabbit hole that is all too easy to get lost in, so sometimes it is best to slim down our options from the endless vortex of the For You page. This list does exactly that, while also providing the entertainment that we so desperately seek on a regular basis. It is the best of both worlds.
