Where are you from? In Greek we use "glass" instead of "bucket", it's really interesting to see how close these expressions are.

It sounds like a literal translation of the Italian version to me.

Or Dutch. "De druppel die the emmer doet overstromen" == "the drop that makes the bucket overflow".

Actually I was wrong, a literal translation would have used vase or pot

Indeed! In German it's "barrel"
