That shouldn't make you mad....Maybe the fact that it makes you mad means there some truth to it.
It makes me mad because he sometimes goes on and on about all my stash. He will not admit that if either of us is a horder it is him. Up untill my sister passed away I may have had 1/10 of the storage space in our place. When my sis passed away I got her apartment to turn into my sewing studio. My husband has all of our place filled with his tools, photo stuff, computers, tools he really has no use for(ex. a huge gillitine that is used for cutting blocks of paper or cardboard. It is really a dangerous tool. It weighs about a thousand pounds and could lop off your arm or whatever with no trouble whatsoever) He bought it cause it was a neet thing to have. If you loaded up all of his stuff to move it would take ten times the size truck as it would take to move mine. That is why it makes me mad. He sees the hoarders on tv and always says, that looks like your stuff. Well, it doesn't cause mine isn't even close to being like any of the hoarders he sees on tv. Can you tell it makes me mad? If I could just make him think of fabric as a tool he would have nothing to crab about!
Maybe take a picture of his stuff and show him what it's like. Sometimes one has to take a step back and look at the big picture before one realizes the mess one is in.
