Forgot where I read this, but I like this ELI5 description

Adjusting a picture on the wall because it is slightly crooked = NOT OCD
Adjusting a picture on the wall even though it is already straight = OCD

actually it's more like

Adjusting a picture on the wall because it is slightly crooked = NOT OCD
Adjusting a picture on the wall even though it is already straight = OCPD
Adjusting a picture on the wall 113 times because if you don't do it exactly that many times, bad things will happen = OCD

OCD = repetitive behaviors (compulsions) based around anxiety-based obsessions, often with numerology having significance

OCPD = anal retentiveness and quests for perfection, like the guy from Double Dare
