Top answer

"the last thing I want to do" can mean two things. Literally, it can mean the final task or activity in a sequence that you want to complete. More idiomatically, and probably more often, it can mean something that you very much do not want to do.

More idiomatically, and probably more often, it can mean something that you very much do not want to do. In the latter case, the idea is that, of all the things you could choose to do, this one is the last one that you would choose, i.e. the least appealing.
