laundry list
Long itemized catalog
A laundry list is a long, often tedious enumeration of items, complaints, or demands: The report included a laundry list of regulatory violations.
The phrase suggests comprehensiveness without much organization or prioritization—items simply listed one after another, like clothes dropped off for washing.
