Bizarre Document Delivery: Share Your Most Unusual Client Experiences

Navigating the world of client communications can sometimes lead to unexpected—and often amusing—moments. I recently had a unique experience that made me question the lengths to which some will go to provide a document.

Allow me to share my story: A client sent me an image of a PDF displayed on their iPad, but here’s the kicker—it was captured using a Samsung phone! To top it off, this delightful piece of digital artistry landed in my inbox as an email attachment. As you can imagine, we still had to manually process that invoice, which was a bit of a hassle.

Now, I’m curious to hear from you: What are the strangest or most frustrating document submissions you’ve encountered? Think everything from handwritten notes to scans that are upside down or files saved with names like “Image(345).jpg.”

I’m gathering these anecdotes as part of a project aimed at addressing these chaotic situations in document sharing. I’m not trying to sell anything here; I’m just hoping to find some solidarity in the shared eccentricities of our professional lives. Let’s commiserate and laugh about the absurdity together!
