Your chances of a stalemate that vindicates their decision to play on increase massively with all those Queens, but I guess since you presumably refer to Daily chess you'd have to be really dumb to stalemate someone with so much time to make a move! I wouldn't recommend it in Bullet or Blitz in time trouble though!
People who DO NOT RESIGN in a lost position.

when i am playing usualley drag it out until i am sure they cannot make any mistakes
i dont see the wrong in that?
Always,go,for,a,stale,mate,when,in,that,position,i,never,resign,worked,for,me,many,times,.P.S,,,,,,,my,spacebar,dont,work...i,hate,it,when,people,have,lost,in,one,more,move,but,they,wait,until,the,time,runs,out...
I once got a stalemate against 3 queens!
I'm one of those people. I've being down a queen and in bad shape before and still got the win
There is no hope after resigning!
My highest rated win was from not resigning in a lost position. My opponent got banned from the site for cheating and timed out.
ha,ha how fitting!

Someone rated 1000 is not guaranteed to know how to mate even with a rook and a queen against a knight so he might as well play it out. There are plenty of reasons for not resigning in daily games, potentially.
As for vacation, well yes obviously it is unacceptable that some people have lives and aren't glued to their chess games 24/7.
From tournaments I even now that a 1800 might think that a 2000 won't win a king and queen vs king.
Or some 1700s where it was king and three pawns against a king.
And if you can play blitz you also might be able to move your king if you're in check and you have one legal move only. you don't need to stick 24/7 on chess.com to do so.

@laubalch lol. Looks like you found a way for you to turn the frown upside down in these scenarios . The Chess equivalent of running up the score so to speak ( and if your opponent wants to exercise their right to play a game to it's conclusion, they you by all means have the right to run up the score if you so choose. I personally like to try to figure our the most effective way to checkmate ( like a tactics exercise ) but I love the fact that you recognize that this is part of the game and came up with a way to deal with it that is good/fun for you .
I never did get that 4th queen. My opponent let the clock run down to the last hour before resigning. Maybe next time.
NEVER RESIGN and if the opponent say resign report them
Being down a queen is not necessarily a lost position. If you have, say, a rook and knight for the queen, it's game on. You blundered your queen, you can trick your opponent into the same situation. Personally, I only resign when the opponent have unsurmountable advantage and this is when stalemating the game is impossible. I have won and drawn a lot of games from hopeless situations.

I had this most hilarious draw against a player who kept complaining that I wasn't resigning and then did a stalemate (I was a queen down).
