Tomegun, good point about the instant on. This was still very early in the game, so I don't think there was too much to provoke her (maybe some past history I was not aware of). But I noticed the rest of the game, she was playing in a rather reckless manner, and not really playing with much control.
Girls don't need a lot of time to flip the switch.

Calling the first one flagrant probably would've been the prudent move. Now I'm kind of annoyed with myself for not doing it.
You just made me frown and crinkle my brow. It sounds like you had a legit opportunity to get rid of a bad apple early on and you didn't do it.

My buddy has a saying that goes like this, "Kill em all before we get to camp because we don't have enough provisions to feed them!"

In other words, handle your business before they come back to kick you in the______.
