It could have been the drop that made the bucket overflow (or however you say this in your language) and it is probably also an emotional thing of feeling poorly treated.
- tdeck 7y agoLove learning a new expression! In English we usually say "the straw that broke the camel's back" or just "the last straw".
- bjoli 7y agoI don't know where you are from, but we say something very similar in Swedish.
- Lex-2008 7y agoin Russian we say just "the last drop".
- unicornfinder 7y agoIndeed, I had been feeling frustrated with Apple for a long time before finally giving in and building a Ryzen-based desktop. Honestly, I won't say the transition has been entirely painless - it does take time to adjust to a new operating system, but I have to say, my biggest regret is that I didn't ditch Apple's computers sooner. I love my iPhone but honestly it does feel like Apple just isn't all that interested in their desktop / laptop computers recently.
- sakisv 7y agoWhere are you from? In Greek we use "glass" instead of "bucket", it's really interesting to see how close these expressions are.
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoLove the expression! I was aware these common phrases are often different across languages/cultures. In college I learned that while Americans say "Kicked the bucket" or "Bought the farm" for 'died', Austrians say "Handed in their spoon". Which is farm more evocative IMHO.
