Well it's not all that funny most of the time, not in the meaning of 'amusing'. I do find it funny in the sense of 'peculiar' though.
I seem to have become a magnet for various people with learning difficulties who use the library. They often drift over to me, either beaming with excitement about something or throwing a strop. It can be very distracting, but I don't mind it most of the time. It's nice to think they feel comfortable enough to talk to me.
And then there's an online friend (whom I've never met) who is autistic and with a family, very intelligent, but rapidly going downhill with multiple sclerosis. That is such an awful thought, considering the person is a good bit younger than I am. At least I haven't got that to contend with.
