Also having OCD, I can see how this would be helpful though. You can fall into a stable position where you're doing enough to keep the OCD at bay (taking the hairdryer with you) without it being something that interferes with your life. I don't think it's an _ideal_ long-term solution, as the OCD can latch onto something else, but as a starting point for ERP (leaving the hairdryer at home on shorter trips) or if other solutions have been tried and failed, I can see it being useful.
