Oh shit am I the camel?

I guess it is very interesting to think about that analogy, cause I never fully thought about that.

The camel was miserable before.

Which means the camel tried to last through it until it broke the camel’s metaphorical back. Which I guess also tells me that if someone says that to me, they are saying someone suffered through something way too long until they finally reacted. I never really thought about it as a hint that you didn’t have to bear something, you could have spoken up earlier already.

This explanation might be too detailed but I just realized that so maybe this is interesting to someone else.
