Because they hope you’re dumb. Or they hope you accidentally hit the ✅ instead of the ❌. It’s pretty lame.
I never resign, I make them work for it especially in bullet, I never offer a draw, I would rather lose than draw, its part of the fun for me, see if I can eek out a win from a losing position, I don't mind losing as I feel it is an opportunity to learn!

I don't mind them not resigning. But offering multiple draws move after move when losing is what can annoy me a bit. 
They do it in 1 hour per side games and then might even stall for 20 or 30 minutes.
It is distracting for sure.
Poor sports

yes...I find such people ridiculous. Like how do they even look at themselves in the mirror.
Yeah, it’s annoying. I just ignore it and then they resign when they realize that they were in a terrible state and learn that I won’t accept draws for them.

Yes Ignoring is the best way. If you decline they will just come up with the draw offer again.

Well as I've said, I don't mind playing out a losing position. I don't resign easily myself. But if I play 1 hour per side game and the opponent blunders a knight for instance and I am a piece up, and he first offer a draw after every single move, and then wait for a long time just to make me wait, it is not that ok.
Very often, when I play Blitz
or Rapid
games and my position is plus one Queen
, or a Knight
and a Bishop
, or plus one or two Rooks
, the opponents after the first diclened draw, they insist on offering multiple draws, because they try to lose my concentration. This is a dirty trick from bad players with bad character.

nobody arrogantly thinks they are in a better position for without a valid reason. When we say we were in a better position it means a completely dead lost position. Maybe up by two minor pieces , or up by two rooks or one , or up by a queen , or up by 3 pawns in the endgame.

I maximum amount of offers would help I think. As I’m ‘yes I saw your draw offer three times now. I do understand you want a draw. As soon as iam ready I’ll get back to you’.

In my opinion, offering a draw repeatedly in a losing situation when your opponent has already declined a draw makes you an even bigger loser. Your opponent is more likely to respect you if stay classy and resign or play it out.
When someone does that to me I just sigh and keep trying to play the best moves. Often my opponent will run the time out but what can you do, a win is a win.
I do that sometimes in Horde when i want to be the Horde
or when i have like 16.5 secs and they still have 2 mins

Well, I arrogantly thought I had mate in about 7 when a dude kept offering me a draw. It turns out I was terribly, terribly wrong. Analysis of the game said I had mate in 3.
@NikkiLikeChikki I think that was me sry
It is just me or you also encountered MANY oponents who offerd draw (in bullet and blitz) when they are clearly at the disadvantage (material, time, position)? why they don't just resign?
