My draw offers are never accepted
So I don't accept too
Depends. If my opponent was losing before the mouse slip, I would decline. Drawn position 50/50, but if my opponent had an advantage before I would take a draw

This seems fair.
I completely understand how frustrating it can be when we make a mouseslip in online chess games, and it’s not wrong at all to offer a draw to the opponent. But I hope you all understand that nobody has ever accepted my draw offer when i mouseslipped. And that makes me feel unfairly treated, making me feel really uncomfortable to accept a draw request when the opponent makes a mouseslip.
I used to accept the draw, but it didn’t feel great that others wouldn’t offer it to me. I stopped accepting draw offers when they mouseslip in rated games, but unrated I’ll usually let them undo it.
In rated games, I’ll sometimes offer a rematch. Give them a chance to redeem themselves, or I may even type about the mouseslip and how it happens to us all. I’ll only type if in the mood for it though. Usually people don’t like mid-game chatting anyway.
Accepting a draw is sporting but most won't. I think we accept mouseslips as a certain amount of "breakage". You gain some rating when your opponent mouseslips, you lose some when you mouseslip. It should balance out. Hopefully this is rare.
I generally sort of act as I feel at the time. I certainly would not accept were I well ahead, and if I were well behind before, I might accept, but otherwise, I could do one, both or none of these, or some other choice if any is availble.
The Mouseslip is always a little painful, and sometimes extremely so.
For both sides.
Never a source of merriment.
