Am I the only one who hit 47 hazard trees in one neighborhood and now I can't drive past it without cataloging

I was doing removals on a street in a small town outside of Dayton last spring when I realized I had marked 47 hazard trees on that same stretch. Started as a handful of ash with EAB decline, but every time I came back there were more leaners and dead tops I hadn't caught. The client only wanted 12 down, so I spent two extra days just documenting the rest for free because I couldn't stop seeing them. Now I drive that road on my way to other jobs and my brain still counts trunks. Does anyone else get stuck in that mode where a neighborhood turns into a permanent work order in your head?
