There is no better place to people watch than at an airport, especially in a post-Covid-19 world.

After being cooped up for nearly a year, it appears as if many have forgotten how to simply exist in public.

This was the case with Terry Anne, a traveler who was caught on camera having a total meltdown after she allegedly tried to run into a restricted area.

The TikTok video by Kevin Durio picks up after Terry Anne was confronted by airline workers and law enforcement for the trouble she didn't think she was causing.

"He threw me to the ground!" she screamed about an airline worker who allegedly blocked her access. "I want the manager of the f**k**g airport here now!"

That wasn't all she had to say, either. Terry Anne then tried to throw other travelers who witnessed the event into her mess, asking, "Who saw him choke me to the ground?!"

One person was happy to answer her question directly: "I saw you run through the door when you weren't supposed to."

This remark sent Terry Anne over the edge.

She started flailing her arms while demanding respect, solely because she's "a woman in a dress!"

Her lengthy toddler-style rant ended with someone yelling, "Boo hoo!" in Terry Anne's direction, and her capping it off with an endearing f-bomb.

TikTok and Twitter users were quick to point out that her actions boiled down to Terry Anne being a "Karen"– a white woman who gets mad when one little thing doesn't go their way.

The disgruntled traveler's breakout "Karen" moment has garnered 2.8 million views and counting.
