Where you feel compelled all of the time to make other people do things that you do not feel the need to do yourself. Their failure to do so makes you extremely uncomfortable.

Also, making a person do something over and over again because you think they probably did not do it right before.
When my wife cleans the house, everything is good enough, lets move on. When I clean the house, everything has to be perfectly done or she gets angry and makes me do it again. I swear she has obsessive compulsive disorder by proxy.

My dad with his obsessive compulsive disorder by proxy made me go check to see if the door is locked six times last night. By the sixth time I told him if he thinks that I can't do it right, he needs to go check it himself.

Shit Proxy

An interface, implemented by software or business process, built on a source of unmanaged and incoherent data, and acts as poorly or poorer in its behavior than if the original data source was interacted with directly.
Developer 1: This API works in the most unbelieve illogical manner.
Developer 2: What do you mean?
Developer 1: When I used the original data source it was at least possible to find the exact thing I wanted and now because this shit proxy written by morons is in the way...I can't get it to do anything because they've changed all the search parameters. It's a fucking unique ID just return the fucking data with the Id specified.
