Heisenberg's OCD Aide

The diametric opposite approach to that posted by python (link) would be items such as lights, toasters, etc which unpredictably turn themselves back on. The OCD sufferer driven to check and recheck that such things were turned off would gain a sense of nihilism, as even with repeated checks there would be no way to know if it was on or off. Eventually, the OCD sufferer would become numb, and stop checking.

But given the nature of the beast, some OCD folks might not get numb. In that case, a small Heisenberg cell phone or something similar could be carried on the person. It would unpredictably turn on (draining the battery!) or turn off (did I miss a voice mail?). Checking the status of the phone could serve as a proxy for all the other things there are to check, and as it is portable one could go about one's life while easily, frequently, checking the phone. As many do.
