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.
