Housemates made my chicken go off!

Been there done that... its disgusting - shared internet was also just as bad with people not giving a **** about other people also using it... unfortunatly the only way to deal with it really other than moving out isn't going to make you popular, I only solved it by threatening to break legs and acting like I meant it.
Aside from the internet the other one that would really get to me is the people who'd dump greasy frying pans, etc. into the washing up bowl in the sink aslong with a load of greasy utensils and just leave them.

Surely you can have a word with them about their behaviour? You don't HAVE to come off as a nag when reminding them to shut the freezer door. Just rehearse what you're going to say, or something, to make it sound less....well.... naggy.

Wouldn't want to hen-peck them but they do need to be told who rules the roost.

Yes! It drove me mental too, its like they started off with good intentions, but you know that EVERY SINGLE TIME they will just be left there to stew in their own filth.
The worst thing about Uni is having housemates who just don't understand or care about having a clean kitchen.
The other thing that bugged me was when a couple of them had showers, they used to just step straight out of the bath / shower and drip all over the laminate floor. At least towel yourself off before you get out! But no, bloody Windermere on the floor, every time and you always used to go walking in there with dry meet and stomping out with wet feet.
Memories....
Over the internet? As in, they occasionally made the internet slow?
As in 1-2 people would leave torrents going 24x7 resulting in ~1 second latency and pages taking forever to load and/or timing out several times before loading. Or just not bothering to turn them off and they knew full well how to schedule DLs overnight.
You'd bring it up with them and they'd maybe be considerate for a 2-3 days then back to not giving a crap about anyone else trying to use the internet - until actually threatened with physical harm at which point strangely enough they were quite considerate for several months.

You need to show your housemates who's boss. Find out who it was and make an eggsample of them.
If that was addressed to my post - not sure they wanted everyone knowing what they were DLing
tho its not like anyone didn't know.
One of the girls I live with has quite a serious sinus condition which means she snorts/clears her throat loudly throughout the day. When we all moved in I felt sympathetic for the girl, 6 months on I'm pulling my hair out. She does it in the front room, the kitchen, and worst of all she does it in the shower in the mornings (the shower is the other side of a paper thin wall which separates it from my bedroom). Every sodding morning I am woken up by something which sounds like this:

Except FAR louder, and repeated about 20 times in the space of 5 minutes. EVERY MORNING.

Pluck up some courage and stop bwaaaulking at the problem. Tell them to feather their own nests or you'll be the one with egg on his face.

Sounds like they couldn't give a cluck, tbh.

Murder them, right in their faces. That'll learn them proper.
I remember one of my housemates at uni decided he couldn't be bothered to wait for me to finish in the shower so he peed in a bottle of milk in the kitchen instead then just left the bottle on the side. I refused to touch it and it took him about two weeks to move it!
