One time when I was at a nursing home, there was a lady there who was very cranky and I handed her a gift, and instead of saying thank you to me, she shook her head and snarled ... "your makeup makes you look like a CLOWN!" I stepped back and said, "oh really? ... well, that's GOOD NEWS ... because I AM A CLOWN!" She started laughing then and the others around her did too.
I would say most of them are not happy about being there, and they get cranky. The cranks are not cranky because of YOU ... they're just irritated because they're there.
