Es lo que faltaba. That's what was missing

Es lo que me faltaba. That's just what I needed

To translate this better, it would be nice to say the rest of your sentence if you have one.

This is used sarcastically when something unwelcome happens, often when you're already stressed out. For example, you're a little late, rushing around to get ready for an important job interview, and you spill coffee on your best blouse. "Oh, no! That's all I needed!

In my textbook, it says that "lo que me faltaba" means "to top it all" "para colmo". But I'm not sure how to use it in a sentence.
