Sylvia Smith (2 May 1945 – 23 February 2013) was a British author.

I did not, however, find the writing humorous at all. I didn't laugh or snort as other readers have.

A selection of short pieces by the author in which she mentioned "things that go wrong" in her life and in the lives of other people. Quite entertaining, moderately funny, and I keep meaning to look for other books she has written.
