OCD is extremely common today, though very few people have it to an extent that they fail to fuction properly. Your OCD is not that extreme really, I know somebody who tried to brush their teeth with bleach to get them clean...
I myself have a mild form of OCD, I'm obsessed with ordering things. I go into book shops and rearrange whole genres of books because I don't like they way they alphabetise things.
I get edgy when my coloured pens are placed back in the case out of the colour order I put them in. I can't concentrate properly if the desks I'm surrounded by aren't all straight.
OCD isn't normal, it is an abnormality of the mind. But unless it hinders you extremely in life then I wouldn't say it's anything that need's to be worried about.
I have OCD, to a freakish extent, is it Normal?
