The Strangest Document Submissions: Sharing Your Most Bizarre Experiences

In the world of client interactions, we often encounter various methods of document submission. While many clients follow standard practices, others present us with some truly unconventional approaches. Today, I’m inviting you to share your experiences with odd document submissions, as I’ll kick things off with a story of my own.

Picture this: a client emailed me a photograph of a PDF displayed on their iPad, all captured using their Samsung smartphone. Yes, you read that right. This creative method not only baffled me but also required us to manually process an invoice, adding unnecessary steps to our workflow.

Now, I’m curious about the quirkiest document submissions you’ve faced. Have you encountered handwritten notes that are nearly illegible? Perhaps you’ve received scans that were upside down or files renamed to something cryptic like “Image(345).jpg”?

I’m gathering these tales for a project aimed at addressing and simplifying the chaos surrounding document submissions. I’m not promoting any solutions yet; I simply want to know if I’m the only one navigating these strange waters.

So, what’s your story? Let’s commiserate over the bizarre ways we receive documents from clients! Your experiences could be the catalyst for necessary change in our workflows. Share your anecdotes in the comments below.
