feature abuse

i have made my first ever contribution to urban dictionary: "feature abuse"
feature abuse

using a feature of something (device, website, etc.) for a purpose it wasn't meant for, to the point where it irritates other people.

eg: Having conversations in the comments section of someone's facebook photo is classic feature abuse.

btw, the coinage (yes, that's a real word that i didn't just make up) was inspired by a conversation on my facebook status.
