I think we ALL have a degree of some OCD symptoms. If it prevents you from living a full and normal life, then I think it would benefit from counseling or medication.
I also think some of it is genetic. Growing up, ALL the clocks in our house were set to odd hours because of my dad. I never knew what time it really was, because of his bizarre system! I never questioned this as abnormal, till one time when my, then, high school boyfriend was visiting, and I was trying to figure out what time it really was using my dad's system, and the boyfriend said, "This is crazy!" LOL!
I set my alarm clock one half hour early, and hit the snooze numerous times, thinking I'm foolng myself! Other than that, all my other clocks are set to the right time.
