I hate people who won’t resign when down a queen because they see u have less time, and i hate the fact that they get the win in a lost endgame or middle game
It is always annoying to lose on time, but you shouldn't be mad at people who try to run your time out even in a losing game. That's how chess works. It's not a cooperative game! I suggest that you play longer games to avoid time trouble. I'm sorry if you don't like this somewhat condescending response, so I'll tell you that the same thing used to happen to me a lot! That's why I play longer games now.

I used to play 3 minutes blitz and be fine on that time mode but as i have gotten better and my opponent have gotten better I find that I use a lot more time, I guess i will start playing 5 minute blitz games

If you lose on time and are ahead by a Queen then you spent too much time winning that Queen. That's your problem to fix. It's very likely that won't see that opponent again but they serve to teach you to become a better player.

i respect the player who kept going in a losing position
its hard and if they win on time that is a factor you need to consider they used there time better
if time is something you dont want to be a factor play daily
the time is part of the challenge

If you want the player a better game, play longer time format. Also try to play with increment even in blitz. 5|5 might not take much longer but it prevents flagging. I usually like to play 15|10 time format. ALthough for ppl who need even longer they play 30 mins
