Here’s the scenario:
You absolutely have to spend time in close quarters to one of two people.
One. a person that absolutely reeks of body odor and overall stench and every time yo take a breath you inhale the rottenness.
or the second a total negative Nancy curmudgeon who has nothing nice to say about anything and takes delight in other people’s misfortune.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Curmudgeons at least can be amusing in their negativity. There’s never anything amusing about stink.

Curmudgeon guy gets my vote – I’m a mom I can tune out chatter but I can’t tune out smells.

Curmudgeon guy. It’s so much fun to get ’em all worked up about some random subject.

Is the stinky guy a nice person? – you can always talk to someone at a comfortable distance. Personally I’d rather talk to a nice person no matter how they smell than a negative person who has nothing nice to say. Toxicity in my energy space is much worse to me than a bad smell.

Talking with either of them is better than having to talk to Ron Jeremy.

Curmudgeon. Negativity can be ignored, but bad body odor — not ever —
no matter how nice the person may be. Water & soap are not that tough to come by.

I would have to go with the cumudgeon and maybe cheer him/her up. Bad smells are impossible to tolerate, especially bad body smells! ewwwww …
