Einen Anspruchs-Wutanfall haben


Total ausgerastet sein, weil man nicht bekommen hat, was man wollte


Auf dicke Hose machen, weil man meint, etwas Besonderes zu sein


Rumzicken, weil man meint, die Welt drehe sich nur um einen selbst



Germany:      While Germans might understand the concept, they have 
their own term, "Alman". This refers to a stereotype of a grumpy, 
rule-obsessed German tourist who can be impatient and demanding.


France:      Similar to Germany, France doesn't have a direct 
equivalent. However, some might use "cliente pénible" (difficult 
customer) or "cliente exigeante" (demanding customer) to describe 
similar behavior.


A lot of the "Karen" memes and stories center around retail experiences.
