rigamarole 

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!"

rigamarole 

Intense partying...
Perhaps involving cocaine, extasy, pcp, lots of booze, a joint or two, some lsd, mushrooms...etc.
Usually two/three day benders. The "rigamarole" intensifies as the party continues. Usually involves all the strange happenings as you continue to hallucinate and give 'er...
The rigamarole was intense last night! I think I left my wallet in Akron, Ohio at a rave party?! Why am I waking up in Africa? Who bought my plane ticket? Who are these people?
Can I get some water? Damn that was one intense party. Who was that girl. Yes sir that was some serious RIGAMAROLE...

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!"
