What does 'the straw that broke the camel's back' mean?
It is used in reference to a small, seemingly insignificant, action that leads to, usually disastrous, far-reaching consequences. The phrase refers to the image of a camel so laden with objects on its back that a further small addition of weight, small as a straw may be, is enough to break its back. The stark contrast of the light straw and the highly-regarded strength of the camel's back furthermore suggests a precipitous interpretation for the metaphor.If you keep loading straw,piece by piece, onto a Camels back even though one piece of straw is very light sooner or later one more piece is more than the Camels back can take. = You have pushed it to far.It means you can't take any more. If you add one more thing even something as small as a single piece of straw you will finally collapse. The straw that broke the camels back is an idiom and a metaphor for a catastrophe caused by an insignificant change: A camel is loaded up with straw, and single straws are added to the load, and the last straw to be added breaks its back.It was the cumulative effect that caused the catastrophic breaking of the back, but it appeared to be a tiny change that caused it.The straw that broke the camels back, is the last straw, the thing that caused the situation to collapse...

What does the last straw mean as an idiom?
To declare that something you heard, read, witnessed or experienced is the last straw is to declare that you have reached the limit of your patience and are now prepared to act in opposition to that which was heard, read, witnessed or experienced. I assume it is a reference to the straw that broke the camel's back.
