Unusual Document Submissions: A Journey into Client Interactions

In the world of client communications, the method of document sharing can often veer into the bizarre. Have you ever received a submission that left you shaking your head in disbelief? Allow me to share one of the most unusual experiences I’ve encountered.

Picture this: A client sent me a photo of an invoice open on their iPad, but here’s the catch—the photo was taken with a Samsung smartphone. To top it all off, I received it via email. The sheer absurdity of it all had me chuckling, but it also meant we had to manually process that invoice. Talk about a throwback to simpler times!

Now, I’m turning to you, dear readers, to share the oddest document submission you’ve come across. Whether it’s a handwritten note, a scan that’s upside down, or a file named “Image(345).jpg,” I want to hear your tales. What bizarre methods have your clients used to send you paperwork?

I’m currently gathering anecdotes while working on a project aimed at alleviating some of the chaos surrounding document submissions. This isn’t a pitch for solutions—just an invitation to share and commiserate. Let’s bond over the quirks of our professional lives and the odd ways we receive documents!
