I remember this game, Karjakin against someone. Karjakin was winning and completely blundered. His opponent didn’t see it, and in a “last ditch” attempt to save the game, he offered a draw. Karjakin knew he blundered, and accepted the draw. When his opponent got up from the board, he noticed the winning move.
Why do people offer draw while losing?

Making repeated draw offers is a form of harassment and is against the rules. You would be justified in calling the director, although it would probably be better to gently point it out to the kid, who probably just didn't know better

is this a normal behaviour for a 1450+ rated player? and picture suggests he/she is an old enough to think decent. whats the logic behind it, why would someone accept a draw while winning? this still seems very weird to me.. and abandoning game and making me wait, like i did something wrong.
you were winning, thats what you did wrong.
"and abandoning game and making me wait, like i did something wrong." Absolutely! That's just bad sportsmanship

@gdzen when some people abandon the game against me, I usually just laugh... I get mad when I lose, but no need to bring the other guy into your problems.
