A scene used countless times in media: some construction workers are working or take their lunch break when all of a sudden a sexy lady struts by the site and they forget about either the work or their lunch for a moment. Cue the Wolf Whistles and sexual comments, which will way more often result in disgust or annoyance rather than delight from the woman. Very often Played for Laughs since it's a quite easy way to incur some situational comedy. It's commonly subverted nowadays by having the workers comment on something else entirely. Lecherous blue-collar workers are definitely Truth in Television, but loudly offering their thoughts to the women they ogle instead of simply joking amongst themselves is not nearly as common in Real Life nowadays as it is in fiction. It doesn't take much to identify the contractors involved on project and lodge a complaint with their office, so even if engaging in this conduct isn't illegal (which it is in some jurisdictions), it nevertheless is still a pretty quick and easy way for the offending worker to get fired and possibly blackballed from the industry. As such, straight depictions of the practice that show zero consequences are something of a Discredited Trope. Contrast Hot Men at Work, in which women ogle sexy and shirtless construction workers or just men doing manual labour. |

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, a group of Muggle construction workers whistle and call at Hermione when she appears on the street in a fancy dress. They are implied to do this to every woman that walks by; the disappearance of their yells foreshadows an imminent attack. | |

In Harry and Paul, Paul Whitehouse and Harry Enfield play the Posh Scaffolders, who alternate between leering Cockney perverts when women pass underneath and highly-cultured posh men in the absence of those women. Eventually, one woman calls them out for their crudeness and they're just as unhappy as she is, apparently thinking that being insulting to women from scaffolding is just their way of being friendly. | |

The Simpsons: On the episode "Today I Am a Clown", Homer gains a new talk show. We see some workers watching the show while on break, and as a lady walks by the site, one worker proceeds to hit on her. However, he's just recommending Homer's show. Discussed in the episode "Brother From Another Series". Sideshow Bob is given a construction job on a dam by his brother and sarcastically asks if it will be his job to lead the "hooting". "Oh, yah! Shake it, madame! Capital knockers!" |

In Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, when Bridget goes to meet her friends, she walks past a construction site. She prepares herself for "lewd catcalls and embarrassing remarks" then feels a "complete arse" for not getting any. On her way back, she walks past them again, and hears a "huge cacophony of appreciative noises". When she turns around to give them a filthy look, she finds out that they're all looking the other way, and one of them had just thrown a brick through the window of a car. | |

In Drive a Crooked Road, the mechanics' break area at the garage where Eddie works sits slightly below street level and has a large glass window that allows them to see the women passing by on the sidewalk; especially their legs. Any time an attractive woman passes, their will be a barrage of catcalls and lewd comments from the mechanics. Eddie never joins in on the catcalling which earns him ribbing from his workmates. | |

Jerry discusses this in his stand-up act in the Seinfeld pilot, when he talks about how men have no idea what women want. "Men know what men want, what do we want? We want women, that's it! It's the only thing we know for sure, it really is: we want women. How do we get them? Oh, we don't know 'bout that, we don't know. The next step after that we have no idea. This is why you see men honking car horns, yelling from construction sites. These are the best ideas we've had so far." | |

Malcolm in the Middle: In the episode "Dirty Magazine", Malcolm (the editor of the school's literary magazine) publishes a beautiful short story about a woman who dies in a hit-and-run accident after failing to heed one construction worker's warning of the oncoming vehicle, since she learned to ignore their usual catcalls. Unfortunately, Malcolm gets in trouble because of one catcall filled with obscenities that he refused to remove or censor, and as punishment, the principal cancels all extracurricular activities until Malcolm removes the story. Malcolm does get rid of the story from the magazine... by publishing the story himself 20 feet outside of school grounds as required by the law. | |

He had no idea so many men did that; he thought it was just "construction workers and cartoon wolves." He refers to it again when he compares it to Ted Cruz getting harassed in New York.

In The Amazing World of Gumball, there is an episode where three LEGO construction workers appear to be hitting on any woman that passes by and mocking everyone else. In truth, they are so socially inept that their sincere compliments come off as lecherous or mean—for instance calling one woman "sweetie" and another "cupcake" because they were literally a lollipop and a cupcake respectively. When Gumball tries to give them tips on how to be friendlier in their approach, it turns into the kind of lewd street harassment associated with construction workers and gets worse from there. | |

Dom Joly's Trigger Happy TV features a bunch of such construction workers hanging out on a scaffolding shouting dirty remarks at a woman. The funny bit is that the workers are all gorillas. | |

Deconstructed in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Kimmy is catcalled by construction worker Mikey, but is too innocent to understand the innuendo, and her lack of reaction forces Mikey to reexamine his behavior and come to the conclusion that he treats women poorly to hide that he is a closeted gay man. | |

In Younger, Liza is riding a bike when a construction worker calls out "Wish I was that seat!" This distracts Liza so much that she crashes into a car. | |

On Family Guy, Peter once mentioned working as a construction worker in a Cutaway Gag, but could never get the catcalls right, telling one woman "You suck!". | |

The Neighborhood: Subverted in "Welcome to the Foos Box". Gemma sees construction workers working on the sidewalk next to the house and worries that they'll catcall her. When one of them comments on her "cans", she confronts him, but it turns out he meant that Gemma had dropped a pair of cans from her grocery bag. Gemma then gets depressed when they call her "Ma'am", and Dave goes out to confront them. They tell him that they had just gone through sensitivity training and do think Gemma is hot... too hot to have married him, in fact, which depresses Dave. | |
