The Most Bizarre Document Submissions: Sharing Our Stories

In the world of client interactions, the variety of document submissions we encounter can be both entertaining and baffling. Have you ever received a document in a way that left you scratching your head? Let’s share our experiences!

For example, one time, I received a photo of a PDF displayed on a client’s iPad. However, the twist was that the photo was taken using a Samsung phone and then emailed to me. Despite the digital age we live in, this meant we had to manually process the invoice — a reminder of the unexpected challenges we sometimes face in business.

I invite you to reflect on your own experiences. Have you ever received a handwritten note, a jumbled assortment of files named “Image(345).jpg”, or even a document scanned upside down? The stories we gather from these peculiar submissions can be both amusing and eye-opening.

I’m currently compiling anecdotes as part of an initiative aimed at finding solutions for these chaotic document exchanges. I’m not here to promote anything; I simply want to know that I’m not alone in navigating these quirky scenarios. What’s the strangest or most frustrating document submission you’ve encountered?
