Funny Shirts for Jobs & Coworkers

Taking Work With a Sense of Humor

Every job has its own jokes that only insiders truly get. The electrician laughing at somebody else's wiring, the mechanic with permanently greasy hands, the doctor on the third night shift in a row, the roofer who doesn't know what a fear of heights is – our job designs are built around moments like these. They're for people who are proud of their trade or profession and still love to laugh at the everyday absurdities of the workday.

Job-themed shirts make great gifts for big milestones: finishing an apprenticeship, earning a license, graduating, starting a new position or saying goodbye to a coworker. Make sure the design actually matches the job, because pros can tell instantly whether a joke comes from their world or not. If they'll wear it on the job site or in the shop, sturdy darker colors and a comfortable fit are a smart pick. For office coworkers, a mug with a job-related line is a go-to gift exchange idea. It lets the break room know who does what and gives everyone something to chat about over coffee.
