when you wash your clothes, the clothing fibers are loosened by the water and friction,and, when tumbled dry the friction of the clothes tumbling sends the loosened fibers air born and your pockets( a recepticle) and the lint trap catches them

That's pretty funny. I've also noticed the same thing. I think that's the only place (other than the filter in the washing machine) where it can collect, because the pocket is mostly protected. Once the lint finds its way in there, it won't just rinse out in the wash.
I hate forgetting to take it out of my pockets after the wash. Then, when I go to pay for something and take change out of my pocket, invariably there is a big lint ball right on top of all the change. Embarrassing.

It's a lint trap. Just like your belly button; you know, where the Indian shot you.

not called a "pocket" for nothing.

because you don't turn them inside out before you wash them.
