When you open a solo server in left 4 dead 2 after getting trolled by team-killers. Since these losers often surf from server to server trolling everyone in sight you can trick them into joining as creating a lobby adds yours to the queue and they are likely to select it. Once they join you are able to easily kill their character as soon as they join to get revenge. If you're skilled enough you could also give them a minor headache by crashing the server, forcing them to restart their computer and wasting their time
