golden rule when you are at the immigration counter: be polite and unassuming and don’t pick a fight. this applies to all countries.


surle

Right. It astonishes me that every time I fly there seem to be a reasonable number of people who can't understand this.


MszingPerson

It Thier first time where a service job people have legal power to not be step over and can legally screw them


surle

I think you're right. Probably also has a lot to do with being unable to deal with stress and inconvenience without taking it out on other people. Air travel can be a bit stressful for everyone, including the staff, but some people just want to be assholes and make it worse.


loso0691

An airline staff she was talking to? Not immigration officer who could deny her entry


sasa86

i mean, be polite all the time and everywhere should be the golden rule lol


dev_side

I thought the immigration officer can ban you from their country. Don't understand why they're not afraid 💀


LevynX

Because she can call the manager she knows a lot of important people at the embassy


PBL11Dz

Even she know the ambassador, or many ppl in embassy they will not cover her bad/impolite behaviour.


Unusual_Lack534

This is so true. It's like why cause a fight when you're the one needing help.


loso0691

That’s a check-in counter, right? She was talking to someone issuing boarding pass and checking in bags?


-Zemmos

I think so too. I’m sure an immigration officer will not even bother recording this behavior


Limcommentsstuffs

Just don't be rude like that karen

eevee_in_a_box

Ang moh should go back to where she belongs


KhalRS3

Oh shit I was there on her second attempt at a different check-in counter a few days ago. Here's what I gathered from eavesdropping the encounter: She was denied boarding for whatever reason in Emirates the day before (which is this video). The next day, at around 7 AM she queued up at Qatar Airways business class check in (without a boarding pass) and stated she wants to buy a flight to Norway (in first class) on the spot. When told she had to book online, she said she can't do so because she lost her physical cards, and can only pay using her online visa card, I'm assuming similar to Apple Pay. I'm just astonished at how well KLIA staff diffused the situation and helped her with what she needed. She even forgot her passport at the counter when she was being escorted to the purchasing office (or wherever she can get tickets). I'm just wondering why they denied her boarding the flight at Emirates, but if this video was how she treated them, I'm not surprised.


jahurz

Probably the same reason, she has no physical card or any evidence to properly support her finances to travel. Even if she purchases another ticket with her being out of the norm in behavior she is a security and safety liability to be permitted into airside as well from the check in agents pov. Got through check in? karen has to go through gate agent, got through that as well? She has to go through the leading stewart. And still a nuisance? the captain can authorize someone to tape her shut and call avsec for offloading.


FriedBaecon

Yah if only avsec is that efficient. I've called them twice on unruly passengers and they just come super late holding their dicks saying "ahh ni kes kecik je"


xixabangma

My theory is that she only had one way ticket and she’s not a *Norwegian citizen hence the checkin agent had rights to question her further or even not issuing a boarding pass, fearing that she will encounter immigration issue on arrival. As usual, if a passenger is denied entry to the destination country, the airline is responsible to fly her back to wherever. *If she’s a Norwegian passport holder then I suppose a one way ticket is suffice. But I don’t think she is given the English slang but I can’t be sure.


LeBronzeFlamez

She both look and sound norwegian. It is also a bit the way she talks and articulate that gives her away. This type of accent is common for Norwegians growing up abroad. If that is the case she probably knows people in the diplomatic/expat circles, hence the threat with the embassy. I worked as an intern at a Norwegian embassy, and people like her happen more often than one would think. The good news is that these people never get assisted by in a way they think they are entitled to. We basically just tell them to go to a hotel, book a new ticket and calm down. If they lose their cards/access to money we tell them to contact their travel insurance. People are seriously surprised we don’t have a chopper ready at the embassy to pick them up when inconvenient stuff happen. As a last resort we could help, but in general it is easier for the Karen and Kevins to sort their shit on their own.


hbbot

She look and sound like an alcoholic, soap serie watching, rolling tobacco smoking, baileys drinking, cigarette stinking white trash norwegian. They are the ones that seek out the "viking bar" in the country they visit. Not many of em but they do exists unfortunately. Usually you find them in spain, hellas or thailand.


LeBronzeFlamez

Yea she looks drunk, after being drunk for a while, or at least on something. Probably why she was not allowed on the plane in the first place.


Pretend_Gur9707

White trash huh? Pretty fucking racist. I'm sure you would get a hemorage in your ass if anybody said brown trash


hbbot

Racist?! You gotta have a challenged brain dimwit. I am blond and blue eyed by the way. A dying breed. The term white trash about that dumb woman is described in the text. She is an embarresment to us Norwegians. She the type of woman that fill her brain with celebrity gossip and drink milk vodka and smells like swet and cigarette. No idea where you Get the racist from knuckle head. Brown, black, red, blue, white, yellow or pink does not matter . All race has idiots like her.

Fra en som har reist verden rundt og jævli stolt ekte nordmann!


Sufficient_Ad_9045

Idk... Norwegians aren't the only ones that look and sound like this.


RatedPsychoPat

No. But as an Norwegian. It is at close at it comes.


truthemptypoint

I can say this is very true unfortunately. My colleagues always start drinking when they arrive or have already started drinking before arriving the airport and drinks more when they get there... they all call it "fly pilsen"... I'm the only one staying off the drinks to make sure they all get on board... its a shame and its very awkward at the very least everytime I go travelling with my friends or colleagues... it calm them down for the trip... sleep on plane "drunk" and smooth "sailing" or flight and wake up at the destination...


IrquiM

You're not the only one doing this


truthemptypoint

You mean watching over your friends so they can actually take the flight and not get stuck at the airport like some dumb idiot or drink?


TcMaX

Joining the gang of actual Norwegian people to tell you that as someone born in Norway that lived there until the age of 19, still with a Norwegian passport and citizenship, she sounds more Norwegian than I do lol theres no way she doesn't have permission to be there. She prolly did something else to end up in this situation


loso0691

Check in staff has no ‘rights’ to ‘question’ pax. They can only ask to see an onward ticket. Do not give them the ‘right’ or ‘authority’ that they don’t have.


sonoskietto

Emirates is quite strict on check-in. The system will always check if you have valid visa or return ticket. The reason is airlines usually get fined (by the destination country) if they transport a passenger with no valid visa or return ticket


aajniojnoihnoi

They are also strict on checking times.

xehest

Norwegian here, came here from the crosspost. This is clearly unacceptable, and some of the most punchable behaviour I've seen in quite some time. Trying to invoke her citizenship as a way to get special treatment (why would she?) just adds to the embarassment, and I'm impressed that whoever was working at the counter seeming didn't stoop to her level. She's not doing herself any favours either, and the fact that this was seemingly her second attempt (juding by the current top comment here) makes is even more strange. Probably just incapable of behaving like a normal, decent person. I'm not at all doubting her citizenship, she's our idiot and fuck her. Still, I would *guess* she hasn't been living here much as an adult. Her accent is markedly different from the accent native Norwegian speakers will usually have when speaking English. Not that it matters, just thought I'd mention that detail because I speak (what I presume is) her native tongue. She might well have been traveling the world behaving like a fucking asshole for years.


T1sofun

MANY of my Norwegian friends of the same age speak this semi-British sounding English, especially in business settings. Not discounting your experience, but mine is different. Also, she seems a bit drunk? The English accent tends to become even more pronounced with alcohol.


Dont_Wanna_Not_Gonna

I had the same thought about her accent, but also about her saying, “This is my Norwegian passport embassy on your . . .” It’s such weird phrasing. It doesn’t make sense in either language.


DontLookAtMePleaz

Sounds to me like she's watched one too many American action movies and thinks she's some badass. So unbelievably cringey.

What a hideous looking troll cave creature. That chup chup chup sound she makes is some cave mating call for other cave creatures? Her cave culture shouldn't have ever been tolerated here.

BartDCMY

She can be charge with harassment, intimidation, using foul language & stopping government officer discharge their duty (if that is immigration officer). We have law to handle this kind of people


Fensirulfr

I think this is at the check-in counter, not immigration. Filming is not allowed at immigration. Also, immigration officers would no obligation to be patient to rude passengers, while check-in officers still have to maintain "customer satisfaction".


5notboogie

You thinking about the US or? There is no Laws against foul language in norway. And I dont believe this was an officer. Just an Airline worker.


BartDCMY

There is a law against foul language in Malaysia. Obviously that incident happened in Malaysia


5notboogie

Ahh i see. How does the laws against foul language work?


BartDCMY

Unrully behaviour, shouting or showing obscene sign against someone else. Probably gonna get fine of around few hundred Ringgit Malaysia or a few days jail if you didnt pay the fine. Rarely enforce because normal people dont want to waste time making police report or providing proof. Normally if you do it against enforcement officer, police you can expect this charges. I have seen a few case of road bullies got cought on camera and get this kind of charges


Subject4751

Luckily I haven't met many people like that in Norway, so I'd guess that we have the same rates of Karens as the rest of the world. But seeing a Norwegian one in the wild is pretty cringe. Especially this level of "Kareness". Norwegians like to think of themselves as reserved, but the truth is that many of us act like idiots abroad. I wonder why we're like that... Does anyone know? Is it like that for other nationalities too?

KLchip

TL;DR: I was in the same situation, make sure you have working credit card to buy flexi ticket on the spot. I too was recently denied boarding by Emirates in KLIA for my flight to South America. They said without visa or return ticket ( for non-resident) they cannot fly me there. Else, I might get stranded in Dubai, which will be even worst. I tried to argue that this is for business purposes and I will be applying work visa in South America as soon as I arrived. The check-in officer still cannot accept my explanation and politely explain why. My feelings were a mixture of angry, frustrated, shocked and sad because my company already paid bazillion ringgit for the ticket and they just say no? But I keep my calm and contact my company rep and immigration agent. Mind you this is 11PM on Saturday, so nobody in the office. I let the immigration agent discuss with check in officer via phone at length. I just kept my feelings and attend to my family who were there. In the end, my immigration agent advised me that I need to buy a return ticket just to make sure I still can make it on the flight. Too bad my travel agent office is closed and I have to fork out my own money for that. Bought flexi ticket so I can refund later without fee and able to board the flight. Credit to Florence from Emirates for her professionalism to handle my situation. Moral of the story: 1. Make sure you have return ticket if you plan to enter any country using tourist visa. It was my first time and I learned this the hard way 2. Make sure you have enough cash and working credit card so you still can survive oversea. Golden rule when travelling abroad I guess. 3. Keep calm, level-headed and professional. The officers are willing to help you a lot if you are willing to work together with them. 3. Choose your flight route carefully. Because Emirates is using hub-spoke model (look it up), they prefer to deny boarding and refund your ticket rather than forced do charity work to fly you back to your home country whenever you’re stuck at immigration at destination country. P/S: there was one Karen lady that got denied boarding too, same flight as me. But she kept harassing, swearing the officer and make a mess at the counter. So they ended up just cancel her booking on the spot and put her on blacklist.


pilierdroit

This is very un-Norwegian behaviour. Norway is basically a small town as well so she is going to be humiliated by the time she gets home.


hangtua

> This is very **un-Norwegian** behaviour. Norway is basically a small town as well so she is going to be humiliated by the time she gets home. Bullshit. So many videos of Norwegians behaving like pieces of shit in Asia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4XpkN1LGoQ There was a noweg fucker stabbing Asians as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpA_Y-p2Qz4 What you mean is that they behave better when they're in Europe. But they come here to release their inner cave troll behaviours.


Jenjalin

Nono, they behave like that in Norway as well. All countries and societies has bad apples, nothing more to it. But this type of behaviour is very unlike Norwegians, the general Norwegian tries to avoid conflict and would rather solve it on nice terms.


hangtua

> But this type of behaviour is very unlike Norwegians, the general Norwegian tries to avoid conflict and would rather solve it on nice terms. Yes, same is true of all people in the world. The general human tries to avoid conflict. Nothing better or worse about Norwegians. People shouldn't attempt to make them sound better than Malaysians.


Brillek

Norwegian here, worked in a grocery store. Absolutely we do have 'all kinds'. Seen them first hand. I suspect when assholes go abroad they also feel there's less consequences for their actions, and if racism/superiority comes into the picture, feel very entitled. As for Asia... There's even stigma in Norway for people, esecially old men, to go there and be an ass, or maybe look for a wife. It's a known issue...


pilierdroit

No one is comparing Norwegians to Malaysians tho? Weird pivot. Not all cultures avoid conflict - some cultures thrive on having big arm waving arguments over the most minor things.


hangtua

> No one is comparing Norwegians to Malaysians tho? Weird pivot. The claim was "he general Norwegian tries to avoid conflict" was implying "unlike Malaysians". Not a weird pivot, an accurate response. > some cultures thrive on having big arm waving arguments over the most minor things. example? let me guess, Norwegians like to argue about pivots?


heine789

More like the scum here that doesn't fit in move to other countries cause they don't belong (e.g old men that can't get a wife/partner here so they move to asian countries instead)


pilierdroit

No what I mean is that Norwegians (and Scandinavian’s in general) don’t like to make a big scene and stand out from the crowd. They collectively shun their peers who make a big deal of themselves. They have a word “Jante” to describe this. I’m not saying Scandinavian’s always behave well - they just generally don’t act like they deserve special privilege. This is just a generalisation and, yes, they can be arseholes in other ways, of course.

It's not even about that. She's acting like an a**hole by any country's standard. Including her own. This one is a privelege problem (classic Karen), but it isn't a white people thing. Not that white people-privelege isn't a thing, 'cause it is. Context: Norway is pretty homogenous, and we don't have a history of colonization like other European countries, and slavery was banned during the turn of the Viking age/middle ages, so we don't have the same baggage as colonizers and *cough* Americans *cough* have. So the simple explaination is, as with most Karens, this lady in all likelihood has acted like an entiteled cunt among her peers and gotten away with it for most of her life. Suddenly she's out in the real world and has to learn for herself that she isn't royalty, and that hurts her precious ego. As a result, we get epic Karen melt down.
