when i am winning why do people take ages to make the last move

They
- want at least steal your time because they can't beat you on the board
- hope you have a disconnection
- hope you have an urgent need to see the toilet
- desperately search for a way out of their misery
- just are a complete failure etc.
I was playing this guy and around the fourth move he increased my time repeatedly. I'd rather lose the game and rating points rather than associate with these id10t.
It depends on what you call ages. Sometimes when I feel I am losing, I will take at least 10 to 20 seconds in a blitz game to make sure I really have no defense, because from time to time the game is not actually lost. I see people resigning while they are not in such a bad situation and I don't want to follow their example.
