A little personal experience here, I have OCD but not the cleaning kind. (Sometimes I wish it was, my house would look a lot better lol) Once a thought pops into your head you HAVE to go do whatever it is you are compelled to do. To not do it causes extreme extreme unpleasantness/discomfort/stress. If it's something embarrassing (Just something people don't usually do) you find a way to do your best to try to cover it up but you still have to do it.
But to not do something you are compelled to do is sooo upsetting... it's even made me physically ill from the stress. I also don't like other people NOT doing the things I feel compelled to do. It really bothers me. I'll tweak at my husband. At a minimum if its someone I don't know I cringe and avoid them or try to ignore what I just saw or try to find some way to compensate. Ex. If I saw them touch a trash can and not wash their hands... I'll cringe, avoid things they subsequently touch, and I'll go use hand sanitizer.
Just my experience!
