What does y encima mean?

ExpressionColoquial

and on top of that

It introduces the aggravating factor, the part that finishes the complaint off. It is not a neutral además: encima always adds indignation, and it is used when what follows is the bit that genuinely annoys you. In a complaint, whatever comes after encima is the punchline.

Llegó tarde y encima sin avisar.
The second thing is the real offence.
