Sharing the Most Unusual Document Submissions: Your Stories Needed!

In the world of client communications, we often encounter a variety of unexpected and downright bizarre methods of document submission. As professionals, we understand that not everyone is tech-savvy, but some submissions really make us shake our heads in disbelief.

Take, for instance, one memorable experience I had with a client who sent me a photograph of a PDF displayed on their iPad. The catch? The image was captured using a Samsung phone and then emailed to me. As you can imagine, this resulted in significant manual processing time for what should have been a straightforward invoice.

I’m certain many of you have your own amusing or frustrating tales of document submissions. Perhaps you’ve received handwritten notes that were nearly impossible to decipher, upside-down scans that left you squinting, or files with generic names like “Image(345).jpg”.

I’m currently gathering anecdotes as I work on an initiative aimed at streamlining this chaotic process. I’d love to hear your stories! What’s the most unusual document submission you’ve encountered? Remember, we’re all in this together, and sharing these experiences might just lead us to better solutions.
