The colloquialism control freak usually describes a person with an obsession with performing tasks in a certain way. This is why a control freak can become distressed when someone causes a deviation in the way they prefer to perform tasks.[1]
A control freak can also be considered as a person who tries to make other people perform tasks the way they want, even if the others prefer to perform these tasks in other ways, and even if the initial person has no good reason for interfering.[2]
This expression was introduced around the 1960s.[3]
