old guy wasn't wrong

I still don't understand OPs story in the first place. What's the big deal with resetting the sensor light? Why is he salty the sensors are working properly?
Maybe I'm fucking dense but none of this makes sense.

He didn't want to pay any money I'm assuming but most shops usually don't bother charging for things like that.
>was shopping around for used cars
>saw one listed online that looked great for me, but was ~5 hours drive away
>decide fuck it, schedule a test drive a day in advance
>call the salesman to confirm it right before I get in my car to drive down, everything's good to go
>finally get to the dealership, salesman tells me someone came in and bought it half an hour ago
>mfw I drove ten fucking hours on black friday to test drive a car that probably didn't even exist
And before anyone says anything, it wasn't priced too good to be true or anything like that, it was just reasonably priced in an engine/color/interior combo I loved

No, an old man having a temper-tantrum by shouting, throwing shit on the ground, and grabbing his head like a drama-queen autist is definitely wrong.
And I say that even if OP fucked up. A man should always keep his composure and act like a fucking adult in public.

I hate dealers that do this. I had my eye on a Saab locally that was in great shape and at a great price (red flag). Called up, salesman said "oh no we sold that yesterday".
Check the website a month later - still says it's on sale. Twats. They're just trying to get people on the lot. Even the car I ended up buying from another lot stayed on their website for weeks after I bought it.

I bought a ford f350 from a dealer over a month ago. They still have it listed on autotrader.
Why the fuck do they do this. Some poor guy is going to call about the truck only to be told that "it just sold, i have a lol platinum cuck lariat version for sale for 30k more".
Fucking hell
