What is wrong with people who sit there and dink around when they are 1 move from checkmate? Do they think it's proper to keep playing moves even though they are 1 move away from being checkmated?
Just to teach them a lesson I promoted all my pawns, and they finally resigned, but I was also rather p-ss-ed off.
What's wrong with them? No literally, what is your problem with them?

Chess.com needs to have another item in the list when you give a hands down "Player bored you to death by dinking around in the end game."
The point of chess is to win, not torment your opponent. I resigned, but was also rather p-ss-d off.
There are no legitimate complaints here. Your opponent plays however they wish, and it is your job to deal with it, however annoying or torturous you may feel it be. It is nobody's obligation to play in a manner that either entertains you or complies with your idea of chess etiquette.
I think you all missed the point. The point of chess is to win the game. Of course I resigned. My time is more valuable than to watch someone dink around. If you don't know what dink means, you're illiterate. It is an obligation to play well because chess is a game of manners. Chess.com would do well to have an age limit designation so mature players don't have to put with immature brats, like the most of you who wrote non-answers to my post.
Dink like a grandmaster by kotov definitely made me want to give up chess. But now I finally realize, I dink therefore I am

You seem to be playing against yourself on multiple accounts. If so, that's against tos
It's time to hit the chat when that happens.
... chess is a game of manners.
I humbly disagree. Chess is not a game of manners. It is a game of rules. As long as your opponent follows the rules, it's legal and not up to you to judge what he does. The Russians used psychological intimidation all the time back in the day. So will common chess hustlers in central park, letting themselves run down their own clock on the first move, just to psych you out. Kasparov was less than friendly when he first met a young Magnus Carlsen, etc. If you've ever seen the movie "Searching for Bobby Fischer," it was all about these two styles of playing chess. Chivalry vs. the other way. The ultimate goal is to win the game. Manners are quaint. Rules aren't.
Just resign in a hopeless position, people do that just to toy with you.

Agreed. At least it's not the other way around where the opponent can check mate with his move, but waits until the very last second to do so.🙄
Machine Learning engines like alphazero and lc0 are the first engines to dink around
