The Most Bizarre Document Submissions: Share Your Stories!

In the world of client communication, we’ve all encountered our fair share of puzzling document submissions. Today, let’s dive into some of the most ridiculous ways clients have sent us important files. I’d like to kick things off with a personal anecdote.

Once, I received an image of a PDF displayed on an iPad, but taken with a Samsung phone! Yes, you read that correctly. To add to the absurdity, this peculiar document was sent via email, and we ultimately had to manually process the invoice. Talk about unnecessary complications!

Now it’s your turn! Have you ever dealt with a particularly strange or unorthodox document submission? Perhaps you’ve received handwritten notes that are nearly illegible, upside-down scans, or files named something generic like “Image(345).jpg.” These scenarios are not only frustrating but also highlight the challenges present in document management.

I’m gathering these humorous yet frustrating stories for a project aimed at bringing some much-needed order to this chaos. I’m not promoting anything here; I genuinely want to know that I’m not the only one who has faced these challenges.

So, what’s the weirdest document submission you’ve come across? Share your experiences in the comments below! Let’s connect through these amusing encounters and perhaps shed light on how we can improve our document handling processes.
