Back in high school I would have loved to kick this girl out. But she was, of course, dating another player. And since it was high school, we didn't exactly have a huge pool of players to choose from.
But what makes her the worst player was her insistence that she was right at all times, and you were wrong at all times. And if you didn't understand that then you must have a problem with her because she's a girl.
Example: She was playing a paladin in the early sessions of a campaign. We fought some kobolds and ended up capturing one of them when it surrendered. Her paladin decided that it was dodging our questions and needed some incentive. So she decided that her paladin would torture it by pulling off its fingernails.
When all of us but her boyfriend (cuz he was a wuss), told her that she couldn't do that, she responded that we had no clue what we were talking about and there was nothing in the rules that said she couldn't use torture.
We responded that torture was an evil act, and therefore it could cost her PCs paladinhood.
And her response was a repetition of her previous comment.
Then the DM chimed in. He told her outright that we were correct. If she proceeded with the torture, she'd have a fighter on her hands instead of a paladin.
She let it go and relented. But at the end of the session, she told us that what she wanted to do was just fine but that we didn't like it because it was an idea that came from a girl, and we were threatened by strong-willed, smart women.
Years later I talked with a gamer friend who was talking about some girl in his game that was arguing with their whole group about something, I said "Hey that sounds like so-n-so."
His response, "Yeah, I think that's her maiden name."
I then offered my condolences on his soon to be ruined campaign.
