I think like every other thing, people may like to say they are OCD or whatever other illness to compensate for their shortcomings.
However, i totally agree with mgran in that you don't know that this person doesn't have OCD,

yes it is possible to have OCD around only certain things. thats what the disorder is. you are obcessive and compulive around things. some people have obcessions about germs so their compulsion is repeatedly washing of the hands, wearing facial masks and other things that will prevent their being in contact with germs. another person can have an obcession about hording newspapers to the point where they are compulsively stacking newspapers along their walls and one day all thats left of their home is a maze of newspaper "walls" some people are OCD about their grades. their compulsion leads them to study every waking hour of their life so that they are perfect in their classes and careers.

If this woman is bothering you so much, maybe she's someone you shouldn't be friends with.
