Do you mean generally compulsive or clinically compulsive -OCD?
OCD compulsions can be anything but cleaning habits are classic. Hand washing, showering, sanitizing, teeth-brushing, even cleaning ears. Some compulsions involve collecting too many things even pets. Some are safety issues like checking to see if doors and windows are closed and locked. Some have tactile (touch) compulsions for example if tapped on one side of their body, they need to tap the other side to balance things. Compulsions can be for people, places and things.
Non clinically, people can get obsessed (to a lessor degree) with people, friends, and favorite rock stars. Some people eat and drink compulsively. Think habits like nail biting, hair twirling, thumb sucking!

Compulsive people do things without consideration to the consequences. Examples are drinking, drugging, sex, porno, food, cigarettes, shopping.......

I've heard that some people sit and answer questions all day instead of doing their job.
