What’s the dumbest way you’ve ever received a document from a client?

The Most Bizarre Document Submissions: Share Your Experiences!

We’ve all had our fair share of peculiar document submissions from clients, haven’t we? Sometimes, these experiences are so outlandish that they evoke a mix of laughter and frustration. Today, let’s dive into this amusing topic and share our most memorable stories of unusual document requests.

Allow me to kick things off with one of my personal favorites. Picture this: a client emailed me a photo of a PDF displayed on their iPad, which they captured using a Samsung phone. Yes, you read that right! Instead of simply sending the actual file, they managed to create extra work for us by sending an image. As a result, we had to process that invoice manually, which certainly added to my day’s challenges.

Now, I know I can’t be the only one with such a story. Have you ever encountered a particularly odd document submission? Perhaps it was a handwritten note that required deciphering, a document flipped upside down, or a random file renamed “Image(345).jpg.” Whatever the case may be, I invite you to share your experiences.

I’m currently gathering these amusing anecdotes to shed light on the chaos that often accompanies client communications. This isn’t a call for solutions or pitches for tools—just a friendly request for camaraderie in the face of document dilemmas. So, spill your stories! Let’s find some joy in these absurd moments together.
