Happens all the time. Some players are bursting at their absolute peak at 1500 and are having a bad day. And then sometimes a 1200 who plays casually will have a good day. It also depends on your play, style openings etc..
It's the same at all levels. I'm sure some players laugh at me when a 1400 comes along and smashes me all over the place. Sometimes you just make a horrible blunder and then your position falls apart, or you are really tired, or your computer is sluggish and you lose on time.
People are too quick judge people based on their ratings and the way they play for one or two games. Everyone has off days.
