Rigmarole 

A set of confused and meaningless statements.

A long and complicated and confusing procedure; "all that academic rigmarole was a waste of time".

I'm not 100% sure where this term originates, but I've heard it used in Britain and Ireland.
1. "You wouldnt believe the rigmarole I had to go through just to have my credit cards cancelled!"

2. "Oh, not this rigmarole again!"

This has never happened before, I'll have to call the bank and investigate our options, it's already after 4:30, somebody better still be there...this is going to wreck my date tonight, if I'm going to be that late, I might as well not go at all...Sally is SUCH a bitch!"
