The saying "don't cry over spilled milk" means not to get upset over minor or insignificant things. People may cry over spilled milk as a metaphor for getting upset over something small or inconsequential, emphasizing the importance of not letting trivial matters affect one's emotions.

Milking stools typically had three legs. If one leaned too far one could fall off the stool and spill the collected milk.

The milk spilled, but it has already happened and there is nothing you can do to change it, so don't get upset, but deal with it (clean it up).
