Do you say "make a fuss" a lot in daily life?
I only saw it in dictionary but have never seen anyone speak it in TV series or movies.
My question is "Do you say it in daily life in the meaning of "get angry and complains"? ( Both British and American English). Why have I never heard anyone used this phrase in TV series (I've watched like a million series already). I only saw it in foreign subtitles, so wondering why they choose this phrase.
E.g. "She always makes a fuss when things don't get her way".
Thank you.

Yep, we use it a lot.

“Do you use this phrase?”
If you are an English-speaking parent talking to or about your kids, you probably use it or similar phrases a lot.

I think 'make a fuss' is reasonably common. However, not always with the meaning you suggest.
Don't make a fuss over his birthday. He's not happy about turning 30. (draw attention to in a positive way or make noise about)
When the service is terrible, my Dad always makes a fuss. It's so embarrassing. (complains)

You certainly could and it wouldn't be strange to say, but I don't really say it much or hear it much.
I mean, there are a million ways you could say this each with slightly different connotations. Raise hell, get butthurt, throw a tantrum, etc.
So the answer is not really.
