Pawn Pushers in Blitz Games

Does anyone else get annoyed at lower to intermediate level players that would rather push pawns like a game of Go in blitz instead of a game of chess?

I'm not talking about taking advantage of pawn structures. Im talking about those that push almost every pawn before any real attack occurs.

I get its a strategy but if I wanted to push pawns I could play Go or checkers.
Just use your superior strategic understanding to punish them. Problem solved.
@chesspawn123 I see you resigned this game on move 2:en.lichess.org/cBApGkE9
That'll show em!

So... 2 pawn moves in a row = not playing chess?

Maybe instead of getting angry for no reason, punish them for making too many pawn moves by getting a lead in development.

I don't remember asking for an analysis of my games. Should I look up your games and run them in stockfish so we can critique it?

I can make it a habit of posting your loses here if you like.
@chesspawn123
If @jposthuma posted one of your games, it was to show how absurd it was to resign only because your opponent played two pawn moves in a row.
However, if you punish your opponent with a better development, it is sure you will get out of the "lower or intermediate level" where players seem to play annoyingly.
