I totally understand. My sister and a close friend of my wife's both have OCD, and I have also had very mild obsessive tendencies, and it's definitely nothing to joke about. I think it has been over generalized to people who have a high attention to detail, almost "to a fault" - that fault being a supposed debilitating obsession. A lot of people don't understand that OCD doesn't have the positive effect of producing perfectly crafted things. Instead, severe cases cause panicked, irrational understandings of reality. (This is for anyone reading, trying to understand why this is offensive.) using "OCD" as a descriptor rather than saying simply that you obsess over details is reducing the awareness of actual OCD and other anxiety related issues.
