What do you do when someone around you is grouchy?

I would ignore them and tell them to move in with Oscar The Grouch if they continue to be grouchy.

all of the above

It depends on the day, who it is, and how I'm feeling.

It depends on who it is. If it's someone I care about then I will try to make them feel better, if it's someone I don't know then I'll get away from them.

Humor is my best weapon - I usually try to make them laugh.

All of the above.

All of the above depending on the situation/person.

Ignore them
Try to help them feel less grouchy
Ask them what's bugging them

Depends on who it is too, distraction, redirection, focus.

Depends.

That depends very much on who it is. If it is a stranger, I would avoid them. If it were someone I knew, I would just act like normal and wait for it to pass. Probably they just need to vent.

it all depends on who the person is, what they're grouchy about, etc etc

It really depends on who it is and why they are grouchy. If it's my mum and she's grouchy because she and my father have been sniping, then I might give her a hug and then just stay right out of the way. Although less so now, she turns to me more as someone to talk to in times like that now I'm older. When my parents were in "moods" after fighting when we were little, it was completely awful. Good job they hardly ever fought. My job then was mostly to go and hug my little brother - things like that always really got to him, like they were never going to be fixed or something.

usually steer clear until they decide not to be grouchy

Avoid them. Who likes to be around a grouch!?!

Appear indifferent.

I'll ask what's wrong or ignore them.

first i try to help them cheer up, if that doesn't work then i ignore them, and if that doesn't work i leave

I try and get them out of it, by pretending they aren't in it or asking them what it wrong, usually both backfire and they snap at me, which then i either dog them out "What the hell is wrong with you?! You may be having a bad mood but don't be a dog to me!" or ignore them for the rest of the day........

It really depends on why they're grouchy, what the situation is, and whether I'm grouchy.

Ignore them

This is one of those questions that has a lot of variables. Like, why are they grouchy? What is my mood? What is my relationship to them? Get away from them is probably the closest to my usual MO. Plus, when I'm in a bad mood, I have generally tended to become isolated, unless I was drinking . . .

I snap back at them then get away from them.

I just try to ignore me

It's according to WHO it is.If it's someone I care about,I'll ask them what's wrong and try to cheer them up...BUT if it's someone I really DON'T LIKE anyway,I will ignore them and if they are still grouchy,I would get away from them!

I try to avoid them as much as possible.

I try to keep my distance and hope for the best.

Ask if there's anything I can do to help them or make them feel better, and if there isn't, I stay out of their way until they're feeling better.

Ask them what's up. Make them feel guilty if they're making my job harder.
