Nobody wants to be pulled over, but if it has to happen, we hope it goes down exactly like how it did for Hayley Mazmanian––wearing a full face of Shrek makeup. The 18-year-old senior from Corona, California left her high school makeup class after donning a swampy tribute to everyone’s favorite green ogre, only to be pulled over while driving her friends to Chik-fil-A. Needless to say, this will probably go down as the most embarrassing/legendary moment of her life.
Mazmanian told BuzzFeed News that the officer was “startled” by her appearance (same), but a spokesperson for the Corona Police Department clarified that “Officer Hartman, contrary to what some may say, was certainly not engaging in Ogre-Profiling that night.” Still, the teen did walk away with a ticket.
When Mazmanian and her friends made it to the restaurant, she immediately shared her unfortunate situation on Twitter.

The reactions were as beautiful and punny as you’d expect.

If the officer didn’t say “do you know why I pulled you ogre?” he’s not living life to the fullest. https://t.co/efqjke3In7

According to Time, Mazmanian will be recreating the Shrek look again for her final class showcase. Let’s just hope the next time she gets pulled over in an ogre costume that Donkey and Fiona will be there too.
