That's the last straw that broke the camel's back!

Mixed cliches.

The last straw is the final problem that makes someone lose their temper or the problem that finally brought about the collapse of something. It comes from an Arabic story, where a camel was loaded with straw until a single straw placed on the rest of the load broke its back.

Correct. So we now say either "the last straw" or "the straw that broke the camel's back". Saying "the last straw that broke the camel's back" mixes two cliches and is redundant. But that may be a Straw Man.
