"Any weapon made of copper would break if rolled for max damage." That... is not at all how historical copper/bronze weapons worked.

I remember the “door doesn't swing that way” story, It was from a video several years ago.

Counter-SA is not something I expected from one of these stories

The first story can be told as a joke with a long setup!

I have no idea if this is a "That Player" thing, could someone please let me know? I'll just share it anyway.

As a first time DM, I ran a futuristic-dystopian campaign for three friends. One of them, (my DM in another campaign, he's experienced in D&D) made a character that is basically a construct who ate souls to survive, completely homebrew rules and no definite class. I actually thought this character idea was quite unique and creative, and when we discussed his (tragic) backstory, I was already thinking about how to expand on it in the campaign.
And then it became a bit of a problem. His first session, the character immediately attacked the other two PCs (not very successfully, one is a rogue who easily slipped away, the other is a wooden construct who obviously has no "living soul"). He then ran around the vigilante base that the players were staying in, murdered a random guy and an important NPC and ate their souls, and severely injured someone who he should NOT have pissed off (a high ranking member of the vigilante group, a Hexblade Warlock). The other two PCs knocked him out and gave him to their vigilante allies to resolve.
I was really proud of the three players who were able to separate player conflict and character conflict though, I just don't think that this character was very cooperative.

That first story, almost literally "and then everyone clapped"

It may be weird, but I have been contracted 3 times to deal with problem characters.  The PC i use is a life/heal/kinda slightly nature domain cleric who is out on mission to spread their faith and do good where they go.  In their view the most sacred thing a person can do is to give birth, second is raising that child.  Communion is the word used in place of sex.  They actually consider sex as a form of prayer.  The one homebrew I insist on is that forced sex can trigger divine intervention (we can discuss if its advantage or if the roll is ever see (greater then cleric level instead of lower) or given that I am attempting to help deal wit a problem player it might just happen.)  Fun fact: this character believes anyone attempting to force themselves on another in a sexual manner needs to be put down.  Forcing what is the most holy and beautiful act is considered heresy/blasphemy.

On a brighter note, if someone tells my cleric it as 10 gold to cross a bridge, she will gladly pay for the party to cross.  As long as no one threatens someone's life she's a complete pacifist.  She won't agree to a contract to kill someone else, but she will agree to capture and bring to justice knowing that sometimes it might end up in death.

A main part of her philosophy is that if you threaten someone's life, then your life is the wager.  If your would be victim kills you, then that is nature.

Last story: solving sexual harassment with rape isn’t okay. They should have took the player aside and told him to knock it off or leave.

damn, my first thought was: seduce the door.
but the comeback was great.
next time roll a barbarian and intimidate the door.

I will never understand why people don't handle problem players above table.

If you make the problem player face consequences in-game, most of them have achieved their goal: They have derailed the campaign and become the center of attention. They don't care that their character dies or is punished, they care about having caused chaos.
The only ones you really DO punish are the other players who did nothing wrong.

Just go completely out of game and tell the player:
"No, you are NOT doing this. We had a session zero where we agreed on some things. Play the game in a way that's fun for you without ruining the fun of everyone else... or leave our table."
