   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 pĂ©nible" (difficult   
   customer) or "cliente exigeante" (demanding customer) to describe   
   similar behavior.   
      
      
   A lot of the "Karen" memes and stories center around retail experiences.
