As the clothes tumble and rub against each other and the dryer, electrons can be transferred, leading to a buildup of static charge that discharges when you touch the clothes.
Clothes pockets turn inside out in a clothes dryer due to the tumbling motion during the drying cycle. The pockets get caught on other clothes or the dryer drum, causing them to become inverted. To prevent this, emptying pockets before putting clothes in the dryer can help.
