Those cars are surprisingly multicoloured.
Also, as a person with OCD, it bothers me when OCD is used as a descriptor. My compulsions involve violent and stressful thoughts, as well as bizarre urges that make me look like an idiot. For example, I might get the urge to touch a doorknob at every angle possible with both hands.
It is because OCD, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, is a coping mechanism that went haywire.
Most cases have some sort of thing that they got obsessed about, however, it is socially rejected and thus unconsciously repressed.
,
Accordingly, your body requires another coping mechanism - which then manifests as the uncontrollable compulsion to act out and stabilise the chaos inside, by performing certain actions.
,
These actions performed provide cathartic release, making you less stressed and releasing endorphins in the process - which in turn leads you to perpetuate the behaviour - and it becomes a "convenient" fallback for your mind which strengthens neuronal pathways, making them more accessible and "default" and hence, a "habit".
,
In short: "bad" thoughts curbed by controllable "good" actions/actions with good connotations (since "bad" thought cannot be resolved itself) that make you feel better a tad and boom your brain chemistry screws you over.
it's never really bothered me that much that OCD is used as a descriptor for things like this because the things that it's used for tend to be fairly close to the stuff that goes on when im not doing badly that with it that day.
e.g. having to sort my dice by color and type before dnd and getting very upset if one is missing to the point im unable to do anything but look for it till i find it, keeping all my pencils in the same place by color of the shell and all my same shaped and same tipped pens in the same place and put up straight and orderly, repeating a word and having to repeat it 2 more times, checking my car door handle 4 times when i park or 7 times on a slightly worse day.
Tbh this just seems practical to me. When someone says "I'm in the yellow Honda" or something seems like it'd be simpler to figure out where you parked it
