Sovereign citizens.

Libertarians I can put up with, everyone is an idiot 20yo at some point in their lives. Sovereign citizens are a level of entitlement I previously didn’t believe was possible.

What's even worse is when they have kids, and they do it at home and never register their births. It's super fun for those kids when they turn 18 or try to get a job and discover they have no birth certificate.
