The 'I'm Tired Of This Grandpa' meme, also known as 'That's Too Damn Bad', originates from the 2003 film 'Holes'. The meme features a two-panel image macro capturing a moment from the movie. In the first panel, the character Louise Walker expressed frustration about having to dig holes in the desert to her grandfather, Charles 'Trout' Walker.
