how is this OCD?
Obsessions, unwanted and consistent intrusive thoughts causing distress and sometimes compulsions of the "if you don't put on the right sock first, misfortune will happen upon you and your entire family" kind is exactly what OCD is.
Unfortunately, I'm speaking from experience (though the compulsion example was fictional). Various kinds exist, which can include variations like some without compulsions, freaking out about various stuff as minor as fear that your romantic partner might leave you if [irrational very specific fear] to forms which constantly have you believe you are about to die.
Mental illness sucks ass.
And yeah, just being tidy, neat and mildly annoyed at imperfection is not OCD. The other view of the illness, the compulsory drive to constantly wash your hands etc. is. Though not everyone has the same symptoms.
