Nothing as bad as some of these. The worst were obvious trolls that never really made it into the game (we played online, so there are an application process to start with). The people who actually made it to the playing bit were all pretty good. It was a Star Wars D6 game, and I guess the worst of it would have been a player who constantly wanted to use his Jedi mind trick on other players (which is really bad form). But that was more the player being inexperienced rather than anything character related.

Thought of one... my friend rolled a dwarf rogue with a shitty charisma score... the DM let him RP it as basically being a curmudgeonly racist. He talked smack about the elf, human and other dwarf (he was like a hill dwarf so not really a dwarf in his eyes or something)... I had a bard... and basically since I had the highest charisma score my job was to basically talk down everyone from killing the party because of him. To be fair, being that guy is really fun. Actually brings me to another really crappy character I ran: I ran a Nezumi (oriental adventures rat person) Druid from the elemental plane of wood who declared that since he was a magistrate on his home plane, he was a magistrate here. I also refused to take healing spells because my tribe did not believe in healing magic. I spent most of our fights flying in the sky as a bird throwing down crowd control, and most of the rest of the time pissing off NPCs by telling them how things were plainly, trying to ape samurai code and not really understanding it as a foreigner to it as a Nezumi to a land that didn't understand samurai code at all, and people being freaked out by finding a "beaver in a bathrobe" due to showing up for every meeting in a kimono. I had a blast, even if I knew I was routinely making things harder and playing my character suboptimally. His name: Tik'Tik'Tok Really though, outside of DND, it's not nearly as big a deal to play something that isn't as particularly useful.

Played D&D a long while back. Most everyone played two characters. My friend Dave had a chaotic neutral fighter named Rasta. Massively strong. Incredible weapons and armor. Total douchebag. I had a lawful neutral monk named Bullshit (I don't remember how he got that name). Went into battle wearing only a robe and fought with his bare hands. They should have hated each other but ended up close friends.
At the start of one long campaign, Rasta bought a cow. She was named Bessie but he usually referred to her as the "Sacred Cow of Ishton" because that is where one cleric and a paladin came from. Since Bullshit could speak with animals, he became cow tender. Bessie would get a d4 for initiative in battle and her attack was to moo. Rasta wanted to find some Javelins of Piercing and mount them on the cow to use her as a mobile missile launcher. Bessie got caught in the middle of a Fireball one battle and died so we chopped her up and had steaks for dinner.

I wound up playing Rolemaster with a guy that apparently plays nothing but chaotic evil characters that eventually wind up being arch-nemeses of the parties he joins. My nightblade (a magical assassin class) wound up becoming the prime suspect in the investigation of the serial killer known as "The Popper" (named for his habit of scooping his victims eyes out and popping them by stomping on them). This is because the real Popper was also a nightblade and left a lot of evidence behind to that fact (he was mascarading as a simple rogue in our party).
We eventually figured it out (though, of course, the players ALL KNEW). We captured him, stripped him naked, hog-tied him, and intended to turn him in to the constable with the evidence we found that he was the Popper. Turns out he could still use some motion magic and basically bounced around liked a twisted, sadist Tigger until he tried attacking our Centauri duelist with a flying teabag attack. He did land the move, but I think it goes without saying that it would have gone better for the character had he missed. At least my character's name got cleared.
