No More Complaints

I am swearing to never grumble about a posting/grammar/etc on a public forum ever again... and am THANKFUL to be part of the MOA community. Why? I own a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse (wife picked this one out) and recently had a rear window wiper blade go bad. On the down side: the owners manual and directions are WRONG. And the Anco replacement blades are longer than stock - though workable. On the plus side: I found there is a Chevy Traverse Owners Forum which gave me nice tips on replacing the blade. HOWEVER. Looking around the forum I found out, yes indeed, there is such a thing as a "dumb question" (example - Q: "why doesn't my I-Pod dock with the radio?" A: Because your radio does not have docking (with ANYTHING)) And if you are sensitive to spelling/grammatical issues... you'll likely break out in hives reading some of the posts.

And these people drive next to us. :bolt

Is there a thread on which way to turn the wheel when they park? :banghead

I'm sure glad I didn't have a mouthfull of anything when I read that!

You too, huh? :banghead:banghead

Let's not even bring up all the anal boys and their methods of checking oil level or what oil to use.

Do they have a thread about using motorcycle tires on their Traverse?



:dance:dance:dance

It is a forum about GM products......what do you expect?

Bring er down to KY & I'll change it out for a reasonable amount, no hassle promised. Really, do you need a manual to change a wiper blade? Maybe if not OEM to see how the adapters work, but?

Don't feel bad. The aircraft mechanics we had in the Navy weren't sharp spellers either. In fact, I saved some of their better write ups, the ones with the funniest spelling errors of smartest comments. You know, things like "Badery ded".

I also ran a maintenance program for a tank truck company after leaving the Navy. The drivers weren't, um, intellects by any stretch and some of their write ups have been saved for posterity too. Things like "steering wabbles". Really? Oh that rascally wabbit! The ones I really liked were write ups from my immigrant mechanics. They required some head scratching. What is a "pomp vang"? Oh, how about pump vane. Ah yes. You have to laugh or else you will cry.

I have it on good authority (I just made it up) that this board's sophisticated software automatically corrects grammar and spelling errors and softens harsh words, opinions and criticisms. This leads to a happier experience for all.

Here's one for ya, yes it really happened and this from a "four year prominant school".... The write up in aircraft maintenance log went like this....."transponder will not transmit in Mode "OFF""... Go figure that one out:brad

My son was an Avionics Tech on the Stennis...he shared some of the Gripe Sheets from the aviators...really great stuff like mentioned:laugh

When did the EU Equality Policy Board take over?:whistle

I worked on A-7 aircraft in the navy many years ago. I had a pilot send in a "gripe" that stated the A/C did not work in the OFF position..........

My wife has a Toyota Rav4, the rear blade replacement is like a Chinese knot. :mad
