The Most Bizarre Document Submissions: Share Your Stories

In the ever-evolving landscape of client communication and document management, we’ve all encountered our fair share of unconventional—sometimes downright puzzling—methods of document submission. Have you ever received a document that left you scratching your head?

I’ll kick things off by sharing a particularly amusing incident: One time, a client sent me a photo of a PDF on their iPad—and to add a twist, it was taken using a Samsung phone and then emailed to me. As you can imagine, we ended up having to process that invoice manually, which was no small feat thanks to the unconventional format!

Now, I’d love to hear from you. What has been the strangest or most frustrating document submission you’ve encountered? Whether it’s a handwritten note, a blurry upside-down scan, or an attachment humorously titled “Image(345).jpg,” we want to know your experiences.

I’m gathering these stories as part of a broader effort to address the chaotic nature of document submissions. This isn’t a pitch for a product—simply a quest to validate that I’m not navigating this bewildering territory alone.
