Twitter goes nuts after Carson Wentz locks himself in gas station bathroom
Never go into a New Jersey gas station bathroom unless you have an exit strategy
The Eagles offseason almost took a disastrous turn on Wednesday when the unthinkable happened: Carson Wentz somehow got locked in a bathroom at a gas station in New Jersey.
Luckily for the Eagles, Wentz lived through the harrowing ordeal and was able to share the story with everyone on Twitter.
It's not quite clear what happened, but one thing is clear: There was a guy with garden shears involved.
Just got locked in a bathroom at a NJ gas station. Praise the Lord for the attendants w/ the garden shears & the other guy w/ the leg kick..

Thanks to Wentz's story, New Jersey gas station bathrooms might have just shot ahead of Florida gas station bathrooms as the scariest places on the planet.
New Jersey gas stations have always been different. For one, they don't let you pump your own gas, and now, their bathrooms are eating NFL draft picks.
Anyway, the most entertaining part of this bathroom story is that Twitter went nuts after hearing about it.
First, there were some questions about the shears.
@patrickredford@cj_wentz I had the same question

That's definitely a logical question.
There were also a few jokes that came at the expense of the Jets and Giants. Actually, there were a lot of those jokes.
@cj_wentz be careful, the Jets will do anything they can to get a great QB. Even lock one in a bathroom till season starts. Lol

@cj_wentz@Tim_McManus it's rumored that two men in @Giants apparel were seen waddling away from the scene

There was also an Eli Manning joke.
@cj_wentz what's the big deal? Happens to Eli all the time. They just got him out of his locker earlier today.

People also made fun of the Eagles.
.@cj_wentz you are already doing more than most eagles quarterbacks congratulations buddy

@cj_wentz trying to flush your season down the toilet already??

A toilet joke! Amazing.
We probably shouldn't be too hard on Wentz for this incident because, apparently, people regularly get locked into gas station bathrooms in New Jersey.
@cj_wentz it happened to me in NJ as well! I really panicked ! Thank god and I got door open!

@torydhudgins_@cj_wentz I've accidentally done it before, I think it's a red head thing. The locks are tricky

Like I said, the "scariest place on the planet" is a New Jersey gas station bathroom.
As a matter of fact, it's so bad that New Jerseyans don't even use the gas station bathrooms in New Jersey.
@cj_wentz we don't use gas station bathrooms in NJ. Rest stops on turnpike and Atlantic city expressway are ok as is a Wawa.

The moral of the story here is obviously: Don't ever lock yourself in a gas station bathroom, but if you do, don't tweet about it.
The other moral is that if you have to use a New Jersey gas station bathroom, make sure there's someone around with a pair of shears before you walk in.
