Confessions Of A Mailman
Don’t take our word for it, however. We have it on good word, particularly, a mailman’s. It was in 2021 that a mailman called Chris Strickley placated the masses with a post that he made on Reddit. He confessed that he was part of the dryer sheet operation, and that he puts these items inside mailboxes, and for quite some time now! His refreshing yet strange methods extend to Idaho and Oregon. He promised that he had a great reason for doing this.
Following The Trend
Strickley was not the mastermind behind this trend, however. It was in the same year that he spoke to NBC’s Today on the subject. “I began to see dryer sheets in people’s mailboxes at the start of spring. At first, I was confused but just left them in there. Later on, I noticed my supervisor had a box of them on their desk and would see other carriers taking handfuls out.” It seems that Strickley was inspired!
