People who do that are gross.
What do you feel about players that do perpetual checks when they are losing?

A few of my most proud moments involve finding a perpetual check in a seemingly lost game.

Once i was down a knight and my king was mate in 1 but i checked him for over 100 moves but later lost (real OTB game)
Whenever I draw via perpetual check in a losing position, I smirk widely and take a sip of my coffee, developing the most content smug faces anyone could imagine. : )

Although perpetual check is great for your opponent (if you are winning I mean), it doesn't mean u lose, as @ThrillerFan said.
And also a question for OP - why did you take the pawn anyway? If it was forced then that's good play by your opponent. It's not "cheap" or anything, it just means your opponent has not given up and has found a good way to bring the game to a draw.

There is nothing more satisfying than getting out of a tough position by perpetual against a way better player.

I've felt the same way as well... I had the game in a clear win mode and then got stuck with the draw.. That frustration is just pride and ego messing with the mind. The true art of chess is to appreciate the advantage of any situation, regardless of the total material on the board. Only the king matters, but too often our perspective of position is based on total material. Part of gamesmanship should be appreciating the nature of a draw, and learning from it. Say thank you to your opponent for teaching you a new lesson. What really bugs me is when people refuse to use the resign button... even though they know it's time for them to lose!

Some people think that their opponent might make a mistake or even a mouse slip. Everyone has different opinions.

i think is okay, its your fault to let them perpetual check you, though if your winning it feels terrible, but that happens in anything when your winning and you get a draw,
