The Wild World of Document Submissions: A Call for Your Most Unusual Experiences

In the fast-paced world of client interactions, the methods used to submit documents can often be just as important as the content itself. Many professionals have encountered bizarre or baffling ways clients deliver their essential paperwork.

I want to kick off this discussion by sharing a humorous yet perplexing experience I had with a client. Picture this: instead of sending a straightforward email with an attachment, I received a photo of a PDF displayed on their iPad—captured with a Samsung phone—and then emailed to me.
