detail-oriented 

Focussing on insignificant details, usually the minor flaws of others. Detail-oriented people are easy to spot because they are usually without any friends and tend to work in tech-support or other fields in which being an asshole is an asset.
Sebastian, a very detail-oriented person, was busy expounding on the virtues of veganism whilst he slowly burnt to death without noticing that he was on fire.

ODO: Overly Detail Oriented 

Think annoyingly OCD plus anal retentive, on steroids!

This is that customer who complains about the slightest, minute cosmetic detail on a large piece of industrial equipment. Not talking about a scratch/scuff on a Ferrari, this is a slightly skewed label (slight enough that there is an internal discussion if it is even skewed) on a 15’ long, 8’ tall, several thousand pound piece of equipment, which gets installed in the corner, along the edge, or in a back room.

When you think ODO, use the chant from the Wizard of Oz when the guards are marching in:
O D O, Oh, Oh! O D O, Oh, Oh!
Yes sir, the equipment was installed without issue. Yes, it performs perfectly. No, there are no real issues with it, the customer is just ODO: Overly Detail Oriented.
