sometimes players are slow for a variety of reasons:
1) they may be trying to hang on to reach the bubble because they are so close to the money
2) they might be gone for a snack or a bathroom break
3) they might be trying to piss you off

I don't care, everyone who plays poker has the desire to win or at least to get the paid places and everyone has his own method that he thinks makes sense to achieve this goal. So far it has only happened once where it bothered me, but the player couldn't help it because he had lost the connection. every time he was on it, he got more and more time so that we all had to wait almost more then 2 minutes when it was his turn. luckily that doesn't happen anymore because the rest of the time is always counted down and the person who loses the connection is now almost immediately put on sit out. But that was a few years ago and now I don't care how someone plays slow or fast

Slow Players
I find slow players a lot it seems. lots of times I know it is because they are playing at more then 1 money table as I am. Other times I think it is because their head is just not in the game LOL I tend to make notes on slow players that every hand take the max. time to play. If it starts to bother me I will just find another table to paly at as nothing you can do about it. I see other players at times do the ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ and shout at slow players which just seems to make it worst LOL
GL all -- after all poker is a simple game game as you have 3 choices call, rasie or fold LOL

To me the time clocks that are there, are there for a reason. If someone wants to use their entire allowance of time then that's their prerogative.
I hate it early on in freeroll tournaments when the blinds are going up every minute so all the time wasted is dropping your stack BB-wise . . . but in real play it is reasonable.
I won't do it normally myself, unless I'm short-stacked near the bubble in which case I will use every trick in the book to waste as much time as possible and hope someone else from another table gets blinded out first instead.
I fully expect that player on the other table will if they're smart be doing the same thing too!

In poker, sometimes we need to analyze the actions and that takes time. I believe that getting used to this situation is critical not to impact your game. We have to consider the factor of online poker, which takes into account other variants such as deconnection, etc.

It is annoying, but maybe there is a reason, for example playing many games together, or he is at a critical point of another game. Some other times maybe the player is really slow, so this shows his weakness in taking decisions at the right time!

No it's not, every player can do whatever they like with their timebank. How is that disrespecting their opponent???
Even if I'm only on 1 table, I will still use up as much time as I want, It's still MY timebank, and I can do anything that I want with it, just like every other player can do.

It annoyed me at first. Over time, I got used to it and stopped worrying about it. I think that the player does not do such an action on purpose. Perhaps he was distracted or he is making an important decision at another gaming table, you could be in his place. Patience and good luck to everyone!
