Online Skepticism
Then there were the responding Redditors who were skeptical of Strickley’s revelation. One Redditor was even fearful that there was some evil conspiracy conducting these dryer sheet deliveries, believing that these sheets marked homes for home invasions! Thankfully for Strickley, some Redditors appreciated this initiative and thanked him for the service. Another Redditor who is afraid of bugs said she will certainly be placing dryer sheets in her mailbox. We hope that it works out for her…
Bug Repellent
Indeed, bugs are a big reason why people place dryer sheets in their mailboxes, according to Strickley’s Reddit post. He explained the horrific surprises that sometimes lay waiting for him inside mailboxes, such as yellowjacket wasp nests! A painful and potentially serious sting from one of these little devils is no laughing matter. Sometimes, these nests will be right at the back of the mailbox, according to Strickley. If dryer sheets had even the smallest chance of repelling yellowjackets, you can bet we would keep plenty of dryer sheet packs at home!
