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!"
