The Most Bizarre Document Submissions: Share Your Experiences!

In the realm of client communications, we often encounter delightful surprises, but sometimes, the submissions can leave us utterly baffled. Have you ever received a document from a client that made you question their approach? I certainly have!

Let me recount one of my most memorable experiences: A client once sent me a photograph of a PDF displayed on their iPad—captured with a Samsung phone—and then emailed that image. Can you imagine the sheer confusion? We still had to painstakingly process that invoice by hand.

Now, I’m curious to hear your stories! What’s the most peculiar or frustrating way you’ve received documentation? Maybe it was a handwritten note, an upside-down scan, or even a file renamed “Image(345).jpg.” Whatever it is, let’s share our experiences!

I am currently collecting these anecdotes for a project designed to streamline document submissions and reduce the chaos we often face in our work. I’m not marketing anything; I simply want to know that I’m not alone in this journey. Join the conversation and help shed light on the quirky ways we receive documents from clients!
