The Most Unconventional Document Submissions: Share Your Stories!

We’ve all been there—those moments when a straightforward task turns into an unexpected adventure, especially when it comes to document submissions from clients. Today, I invite you to share your wildest experiences with unconventional document submissions.

Let me share my story first: I once received a document from a client in the form of a photo of a PDF displayed on their iPad. To add to the peculiarity, the snapshot was taken with a Samsung phone and emailed to me. Can you believe it? This odd submission meant we had to manually process that invoice, which is not exactly efficient!

Now, I’m curious to hear from you. What’s the most bizarre or frustrating document submission you’ve encountered? Have you received something handwritten, an upside-down scan, or perhaps a file labeled “Image(345).jpg”? Whatever it is, I want to hear about it!

I’m collecting these quirky tales as part of a project aimed at streamlining the document submission process. Rest assured, this isn’t a sales pitch—just an effort to understand that I’m not the only one dealing with these amusing yet challenging scenarios. Join in the conversation and let’s share some laughs (and perhaps a few eye-rolls) together!
