Yes! I tell people I'm a compulsive proofreader.
If I read something, typos jump off the page. And I tend to read
everything that crosses my field of vision, whether I'm conscious of
it or not. The time I went for an eye exam and they put those drops
in, I was startled to catch myself trying (unsuccessfully) to read
everything in sight--posters, labels, name tags, magazine covers,
instructions, food packaging... Until that moment I didn't realize
just how automatic--and constant--reading had become for me.
Interesting.
