moped around
Wandered while gloomy
To mope around is to move listlessly through a space while feeling gloomy or dejected.
The phrase emphasizes aimless, low-energy movement combined with visible unhappiness: He moped around the house all weekend after the breakup.
Someone who mopes around isn't doing anything productive—they're dwelling in their misery while shuffling from room to room.
