Fear of consequences: Of not doing things in a very specific way. The saying "step on a crack break your mother's back" is an example. If you could not tolerate the possibility of stepping on a crack thinking it could actually cause harm. People with ocd would not be able to tolerate stepping on a crack and would avoid it at all costs.
