The Most Unconventional Client Document Submissions: Share Your Stories!

As professionals, we often encounter bizarre situations that leave us scratching our heads. One of the most peculiar aspects of our jobs can be how clients choose to send us important documents. This post invites you to share your own experiences with unconventional document submissions.

Let me kick things off with an amusing story from my own experience. There was a instance where a client decided to send me a photo of a PDF displayed on their iPad. To add to the absurdity, the picture was taken using a Samsung phone and sent to me via email. Despite the digital age we live in, we still had to process that invoice manually.

Now, I’m curious: what’s the most unusual or perplexing way you’ve received documents from a client? Perhaps it was a handwritten note, an upside-down scan, or even a file named “Image(345).jpg”. Whatever your story may be, I would love to hear it!

I’m gathering these anecdotes as part of a broader effort to address the chaos that can arise from document submissions. This isn’t a pitch for any products or services—just a chance for all of us to share our experiences. Knowing that others have faced similar situations can sometimes make the chaos feel a bit more manageable.
