Well, you can't do that with a regular spoon.

A phrase to describe a situation that shouldn't have been able to happen to begin with but through the pettiness of the universe, did happen.

*At work I reached up to grab a sandwich box, the spring attached to the box holding mechanism broke causing all the boxes to fall onto the ground and knocking over food in the process.*

Me: Well, you can't do that with a regular spoon.
