That sounds a lot like one of my rabbits.
The first one I got was suppose to be a female but turned out the be a male. He started spraying the walls and everything with urine. We didn't have a local vet who knew enough about fixing rabbits to want to take him to them, so he remained intact. The spraying got so bad I gave him to a friend who had a big outside Warren like thing and the bunny was very happy there. The second one I got was just anti social. She didn't like to be held, she didn't like to be petted, and when she was out running around she didn't like the be caught. I had huge scratches on my arms from her. She would do bad things (rip the carpet up in corners) while out and then you couldn't catch her to put her back in her cage. When she passed due to old age I considered not getting any more rabbits. I decided I would try it one more time. I started to do a bunch of research on the different breeds, I had narrowed the list down the 5 breeds. Then my coworker called and said her mom had found a rabbit running around in a field and did I want it. I said I would take it and find it a home, but he was so cute and sweet that he ended up staying. He was one of the 5 breeds I had narrowed it down to. There is a photo of him below. I had heard stories about bunnies being great pets but had almost given up on that idea.
