Why do grumpy people look so grumpy?

I’m in Starbuck. I’ve just shifted seats into the corner (old poker habit, I don’t want anyone looking at my cards), and I had to dump the mess onto the counter. Grumpy #1 wasn’t happy at all.

I order one of this newfangled tea things. It arrives, looking like something the Loch Ness monster would swim in. I take a sip and swallow a congealed lump of something green. I take it back. Grumpy #2 explains that the fault is mine for requesting almond milk instead of the stuff from the udders.
