Misspelling (sometimes intentional out of ease) of harangue, which is a tirade or rant, whether spoken or written.
In this usage it is usually playful and friendly banter suggesting the other person forcefully remind them later of their failings.
If used in reference to other people (particularly a work superior) it usually delicately and formally suggests the other person was being irritable/annoying in a way that is not career limiting.

When you use your annual season ticket travelcard to make pointless and unnecessary journeys just because you can.
The early stages of travelcard abuse can typically be identified by young professionals trying to justify the annual expense of their travel card by stating something similar to "well I have paid for it so I may as well use it".
This eventually progresses into downright travelcard abuse.
Though its origin is when referring to the London Underground it has been known to apply to other annual tickets purchased for other methods of transportation.
