For me, OCD is about control of the situation. If there is uncertainty in the outcome, or the process to execute the task deviates from the norm, this unfamiliar order of operations makes me feel uncomfortable, to the point where I become stressed and project negative emotions on those around me.
That's my experience too. The discomfort that a lack of certainty brings is sometimes unbearable. It's probably also why my OCD flares up during big changes in my life (moving, getting a new job, etc).
