What’s the dumbest way you’ve ever received a document from a client?

The Most Outlandish Document Submission Stories: Share Yours!

In the realm of client interactions and document processing, we often encounter submissions that leave us scratching our heads. As professionals, we strive for efficiency and clarity, but sometimes our clients have other ideas. This got me thinking—what are some of the most absurd ways you’ve received important documents?

Let me share my experience: I once had a client who sent me a photo of a PDF displayed on their iPad. To add a twist, they took the picture using a Samsung phone and then emailed it to me. You can imagine the surprise when we discovered that we still needed to manually process that invoice!

I can’t be the only one who has faced bizarre document submissions. Have you received anything even more perplexing? Perhaps a handwritten note, an upside-down scan, or a file humorously titled “Image(345).jpg”?

I’m collecting anecdotes as I work on an upcoming project aimed at simplifying the document submission process. This isn’t about promoting a product—it’s about gathering insights and ensuring I’m not navigating this chaotic landscape alone.
