The Most Chaotic Document Submissions: Share Your Stories!
As professionals, we often encounter a variety of challenges in our work, and one of the most frustrating can be receiving documents from clients. Every so often, a submission comes in that makes us pause and wonder about the oddity of the situation.
For instance, I once received an invoice from a client in the most unconventional manner: they sent a photograph of a PDF displayed on their iPad—taken with a Samsung phone, no less! To complicate matters, we had to manually process that invoice, which turned what should have been a straightforward task into a cumbersome one.
Have you ever received a document submission that left you scratching your head? Perhaps it was a handwritten note that was nearly impossible to decipher, or maybe you received an upside-down scan with the filename “Image(345).jpg.” Whatever the scenario, we want to hear your stories!
I’m currently gathering anecdotes to create a solution for this type of chaos in document submissions. This isn’t a pitch for a product—just a way to connect over shared experiences. You’re not alone in facing these bizarre document delivery methods! Share your worst or weirdest submissions in the comments below, and let’s commiserate on the strange world of client communications.
