Obsessive Compulsive Disorder by Proxy

Where you feel compelled all of the time to make other people do things that you do not feel the need to do yourself. Their failure to do so makes you extremely uncomfortable.

Also, making a person do something over and over again because you think they probably did not do it right before.
When my wife cleans the house, everything is good enough, lets move on. When I clean the house, everything has to be perfectly done or she gets angry and makes me do it again. I swear she has obsessive compulsive disorder by proxy.

My dad with his obsessive compulsive disorder by proxy made me go check to see if the door is locked six times last night. By the sixth time I told him if he thinks that I can't do it right, he needs to go check it himself.

obsessive compulsive flag-unfurling disorder

Or "OCFUD" for short. Refers to where you absolutely cannot stand to simply walk by a flagstaff where da pennant has become wrapped around da pole or is otherwise not hanging/flapping freely as it's supposed to be; you feel da overwhelming need to reach up and caringly "free da folds" so dat said lovely colorful banner can flutter freely and gloriously proclaim its bold "freedom of expression" message once again.
Why anybody would make an issue about someone's obsessive compulsive flag-unfurling disorder is totally beyond me --- just like "OMLC disorder" (whereby you are unable to resist closing an obviously-hanging-open mailbox-lid on your way by), it would be only common-sense logical to assume dat whoever put up da tangled-up flag would indeed want it to remain "free to flutter" instead of being messily twisted around da flagpole. Plus of course, it's only what YOU'D want OTHERS to do regarding any flag dat YOU YOURSELF had hung, and so you'd be merely following da Golden Rule by performing said Good Samaritan task yourself wif any bunched-up flag dat you see while strolling around town.

Yeah, yeah, yeah --- obsessive compulsive...

What you sneeringly snort to everyone watching while you super-precisely perform an ordinary task, check/measure something extra-carefully, salvage da last drops/flakes/globs of a semi-valuable product, etc.
Low-income-but-financially-solvent dude, speaking to an amused gal whose car he's changing da oil in, and letting each bottle of oil drain into da engine's filler-neck for ten minutes before tossing da bottle in da trash can: "Yeah, yeah, yeah --- obsessive compulsive... but you know how I hate to waste anything, plus of course, YOU'RE da one who's paying all da costs of this oil-change, so naturally I wanna be all da more conservative and efficient wif salvaging all of da $3.99-per-quart oil dat I can!"
