The Most Bizarre Document Submission Stories: Share Your Experiences

In the world of client communications, we all encounter various unique challenges. Among these, the ways in which clients send us important documents can often lead to moments of disbelief and laughter. Today, I invite you to dive into the quirky and sometimes bewildering realm of document submissions.

I’ll kick things off with a personal anecdote: There was a time when a client sent me a photo of a PDF displayed on their iPad, but here’s the twist—they captured it using a Samsung phone and then emailed me that image. As you can imagine, we still had to go through the laborious task of manually processing that invoice, which was a time-consuming endeavor.

Now, I’m curious—what’s the most peculiar or frustrating method you’ve witnessed when a client submitted a document? Whether it’s a handwritten note, an upside-down scan, or files whimsically labeled “Image(345).jpg,” I’d love to hear your stories.

I am collecting these anecdotes as part of a project aimed at streamlining document submissions and tackling the chaos we often face in this area. Please note, I’m not promoting anything; rather, I’m reaching out to see if others have experienced similar challenges. Let’s commiserate and find some camaraderie in our shared experiences!
