Kevin's mother tries everything she can to make it home to Chicago in Home Alone. With all airlines sold out around Christmastime, she lucks out when a man in the airport offers her a ride to the Windy City. Without even thinking, she hops into his van so she can get home. However, adults notice this isn't the safest solution to her problem.
For all of us watching, we understand that Kate will do whatever it takes to make it to Kevin. "I don't care if I have to get out on the runway and hitchhike, if it costs me everything I own, if I have to sell my soul to the devil himself," she proclaims. But considering she lives in the biggest house on the block, it's safe to assume she could've afforded her own rental car.
Instead, Kate flies from Paris to Dallas to Scranton, and loses precious time arguing with airlines. Luckily, she has only a 10-hour drive with the Polka King (John Candy), according to Google Maps, but she should definitely know not to get in a car with a stranger.
