An annoying series of seemingly
unnecessary steps that causes a commotion and results in confusion,
irritation and resentment by the people who
inevitably have to do all the extra work to fix something they didn't break.
After all the rigamarole Sally caused by changing her tax status and then 10
other people followed suit, we have to re-enter all the timesheets which means payroll will be late! 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!"
