@kai_jonas To put this in actual words: this phrase means to openly complain to somebody because they're doing something that you don't want. Sometimes they've been doing the "bad" thing for for awhile.
It's usually not polite or constructive, it's with a lot of frustration, possibly anger.

@semperflorus, thank you very much for your explanation :)
Do Americans actually also use the verb "to scold someone for doing something" or is that rather old-fashioned?

We still commonly use this, but it's 90% for children, occasionally for teens. Almost never for adults. If you say this about an adult, they must have done something very obviously wrong, that probably had minor consequences. I'd use the word repremand or even punish for an adult.

You can also punish a child, but reprimand is not often used, especially since small children don't know this word!

I was scolded for accidentally putting salt in the coffee instead of sugar. I was punished for lying about where I was last night. I was reprimanded for spending too much time in the break room. I was told off for disrespecting his grandmother.
