No joke, work-related: I had a PDF scanned and then emailed to me as a .JPG, asking for a signature and for me to fax it back. Except they didn't print off the PDF and scan that, no... it was a screenshot of the document printed off. ... Then scanned. It had the browser header on it and everything.
Casey Garske - Oy...yeah... I've had to deal with that one, lol. I had an adjuster who sent me this Word document they got from an insured, and it was like 6 images all piled on top of each other on one page that I had to sort out.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.

ReplyDeleteI've had this exact thing happen to me. Though I got it back in the form of an MMS on my phone. WTF people, twf.
ReplyDelete"Could you print this out, then scan it to me?" Actual thing I get a request for every week.
ReplyDeleteAlso, when I see "Sent from my iPhone" I brace for insanity.
You have my stapler...
ReplyDeleteBetter than someone sending you photos in a Powerpoint file, lol.
ReplyDeleteI have had the "screenshot pasted into Word" version.
ReplyDeleteOr instead of just emailing you, they save it as a Microsoft Publisher file and sent it to you as an attachment.
