Okay, so we're just... weeks?... away from actually *playing* our Dresden Files game.
One of the characters (a late-blooming White Council Apprentice) has taken the Trouble aspect of "Obsessed with Perfection."
At the time he picked it, I felt confident that I could come up with a lot of compels for it.
Now, I'm forgetting what I had in mind.
For those who know what I'm talking about when I say "trouble" and "compels," have you got any suggestions of situations where a compel would be appropriate and interesting?

If he ever wants to cast a ritual, I think he's going to be so "obsessed with pefection" that finding the components may be expensive/difficult to come by. Perhaps requiring a bit of a side trip?
Perhaps he gets fascinated by inappropriate things, a shark is a "perfectly" designed for nautical killing. Perhaps he could become entranced by some perfectly designed (but really evil) item, or creature. "No we can't destroy it! Look how the talons are just the right length to rupture the heart after slipping between two ribs! I must learn about this"
I hear that nasty necromancer made the best enthralled air spirit ever, it's trapped in a skull, it has perfect recall of everything it's master ever did,...
Some things may just look perfect, like, a white court vampire?

Essentially anytime you can see being an obsessive compulsive as a problem you've got him.
He is performing a ritual but is missing a component, the party has a suitable replacement but he has to have the perfect proper ingredient.
The party has set up a trap and is on a time limit, he is slowing everything down as his obsession forces him to move and realign things constantly to make them perfect.
Treat him like an obsessive compulsive, really since he took it hopefully he'll be compelling himself on that one. Its a great disadvantage that should give lots of roleplay options to bring it out.

Hmmm... good ideas, guys. I think you've pointed out a direction I didn't think about. Thanks!

You could also do compels along the lines of creepy stalker/klepto. See a perfectly cut jewel? You want it, you need it.
