Tip your delivery driver, wish them a Merry Christmas, and don't watch Home Alone.

This Christmas, don't be like Kevin. Respect the people who bring you food when you don't have the time or energy to cook. Who somehow find your poorly-marked address on a dimly-lit street. Who are still working when everyone else is taking time off.

Some could argue it was revenge from earlier when Kevin didn't get his cheese pizza, but this wasn't the driver's fault. This was the fault of his parents who didn't order enough, and his brother Buzz, who ate the only cheese pizza.

First he uses clips from the movie to insult the driver (Keep the change, ya filthy animal), gives the driver a measly tip of 20 cents, and finally, for literally NO reason other than pure SADISM, he scares the driver into believing he is being shot at.

WHY?! Why does Kevin do this?

Is Home Alone the WORST Christmas movie EVER?

When Kevin McCallister orders pizza, to avoid detection, he plays a recording of 'Angels with Filthy Souls' (a film he had previously been forbidden from watching).
