Couldn't you just use a contract in order to solve this? I.e. put a fine on this kind of things?

In Akonyl's (and partially manga's) case, for example, you could simply make an easy contract with those rules:
- Used tableware must not be located anywhere but the dishwasher in [insert rooms you both share], if violated, the offender suffers a fine of [amount] per piece.
- Used tableware must not be put in the dishwasher if any tableware piece of its last running is still left inside, if violated, the offender suffers a fine of [amount] per piece.
- These rules apply only if the offender is not present1.
- The fines have to be paid until the following [Monday/first day of month/whatever].
1 Optionally, you could insert a line like "and has not been present for [amount] minutes" here; otherwise, if you leave the tableware in the kitchen in order to answer the door, you violate the rules above

This allows the person you're living with (assuming the case you described with the half-emptied dishwasher applies) to either keep his used tableware in his room(s) or take your stuff out2 and put them in the dishwasher or to wash them by hand or to pay the fine. I'm not aware of the laws concerning contracts in the US, but a contract like this shouldn't really be a problem. Also, in order to count the offences, I suggest you use post-its with date and time (preventing reuse), number of items (preventing adding items (one post-it per item would need a lot of them)) and your signature (preventing fakes) to mark offending tableware you've already counted (it shouldn't really be in his interest to remove those stickers, as this means they get counted again :x).
While I doubt that that'd be the case, should he accuse you of faking numbers, you could also take photos of the tableware as proof.

2 If you are offended should he just take them out and not put them into the cupboard, you might need a definition of "emptying the dishwasher" here :P
If  ;), :D, ;D, ::), :P, :-X, :o or >:D are attached, that paragraph may not be 100% serious. Seriously.

if it was so easy to get people to follow rules, you wouldn't need such an overly complex contract in the first place :V

The sad thing is that the complicated method is likely a better/preferred solution than having everyone's privileges revoked.

Lestat might move D:
And if she does the distance between us going to become 188 km instead of 98 km D: And it's going to take 3 hours to go to her place
Sure, we've been living with a distance of 1000 km but that was 2 years before >__<

Our class cards in CS10 has been released earlier. I only got a 2.0 while I'm expecting a 1.5 :( And it was one of my favorite subjects!! :'(

I feel like I'm one of the dumbest in the class :(

Well, Standard Grades in Scotland are graded as 1-2 being the best, 3-4 being middling, 5-6 being barely passing, and 7-8 being different degrees of fail.

Speaking of fail... protip: trying to match drinks with gay guys is a bad, bad idea. I have never seen anybody tank so much straight vodka in my life. (Is this actually something in the hormones, or does Lexi just have a talent for finding the alkies? :P)

I had a really bad nightmare last night and woke up to find all the stuff from one of the bathroom drawers dumped on the bathroom floor. >:( As if having to clean the stuff up from the floor wasn't bad enough, I also have a wicked headache.  :P

In some schools, 1 is the highest and 5 the lowest :P

Hope that helps just a little <3

Also, my roommates just had a discussion about how hot my little brother is. He's 17, but it was still deeply weird for me.
