The joke is leaning more on the OCD/narcissistic characteristics of Patrick Bateman than the murdery part. Like, having a ridiculously tedious self-care routine due to vanity (or self-consciousness, take your pick).

I think it's kinda weird that you used the whole initialism for only one of those disorders. You could have used it for both or neither, but you didn't.

It was for brevity and clarity. People are very familiar with hearing "OCD" used casually, but "NPD" would have sounded too specific and clinical compared to "narcissistic" as a character trait.
