Hmm, that sounds like a bit of a minefield to me, and I've always felt the best thing to do with minefields, if you lack professional expertise and equipment, is to walk around them...
Perhaps a more approachable question is why they feel the need to use the phrase, which sounds as if its being used defensively.

It's actually very common for runners to joke that they "are OCD." It's not remotely defensive. They're showing off, if anything.

Yeah. In all seriousness, if there aren't intrusive thoughts that provoke possibly debilitating anxiety and doing such odd things isn't to make it go away, it's not OCD[1] and just someone being a fuckwit. A while back I was talking to a former cow-orker[2] and she told me that she went off on someone who pulled the "I'm so OCD" shit because knowing me, she knew how it actually fucks with people.

[2]Which reminds me. I should text her, since she's awesome and we haven't talked in ages.

What's the problem? It's a barn. That farts.
Where is Captain Obvious when you need him?

So that's the smell that I notice every time I walk past the Dairy Barn... I always assumed it was manure.
