Document Submission Disasters: Share Your Stories!

Have you ever encountered a particularly bizarre or impractical way of receiving a document from a client? If so, you’re definitely not alone.

I’m kicked things off with a memorable experience of my own. A client once sent me a photo of a PDF displayed on their iPad—captured using a Samsung phone—and then emailed it to me. To make matters worse, we still had to manually process that invoice, which added unnecessary complexity to our workflow.

Now, I’m curious to hear about your experiences! What’s the most unusual or frustrating method a client has used to submit a document? Whether it’s a handwritten note, a scan turned upside down, or an image file bizarrely named “Image(345).jpg”, I want to know all about it.

As I gather these stories, I’m working on a solution that aims to streamline document submissions and reduce the chaos we often face in our daily working lives. This isn’t a pitch; I genuinely want to connect with others who have shared these quirky experiences.
