The Strangest Document Submissions: A Call for Your Stories

In the world of client communications, receiving documents can sometimes feel like a comedy of errors. Today, I want to share an amusing experience of mine and invite you to contribute your own bizarre tales.

I once received a document from a client that was so puzzling, it’s hard to forget it. Rather than sending the actual file, they forwarded a photograph of a PDF displayed on their iPad. To top it off, the photo had been taken with a Samsung phone. This meant I had to go through the painstaking process of manually processing that invoice!

As I work on developing tools to streamline document submissions, it struck me that I can’t be the only one who encounters such peculiar submissions. Have you ever received a document that left you scratching your head? Whether it was a handwritten note, a scan turned upside down, or even a file labeled “Image(345).jpg,” I’m eager to hear your stories.

Let’s share our funniest and most frustrating experiences with document submissions. Your contributions might just provide insights into common pitfalls and help us work towards some solutions. Join the conversation and let’s commiserate over the chaos!
