What’s the dumbest way you’ve ever received a document from a client?

A Comical Glimpse into Client Document Submissions: Share Your Stories!

Have you ever found yourself in disbelief over the way a client has chosen to submit an important document? You’re certainly not alone! I recently encountered an experience that exemplified just how creative—yet perplexing—these submissions can be.

For instance, a client once sent me a photograph of a PDF as it appeared on their iPad. Ironically, this snapshot was taken with a Samsung phone! The best part? We still had to process that invoice manually, which added an unexpected twist to our workflow.

This got me thinking: What’s the most bizarre or downright unconventional document submission you’ve ever encountered? From handwritten notes to upside-down scans and files renamed as “Image(345).jpg,” there’s no shortage of oddities in this realm.

I’m gathering tales as I work on a solution to streamline these chaotic submissions. I’m not promoting a product here; instead, I’m just seeking to connect and discover that I’m not the only one navigating this hilarious yet frustrating journey.

So, share your stories! Let’s bring some laughter to the challenges we face in the world of client document submissions.
