Just had to spend 10 minutes listening to an old black boomer at work talking about how he needs to buy more cabinets to store his collection of 900+ pairs of shoes.

He's got a 4 bedroom house, lives alone, and has at least one bedroom devoted to his shoe collection.

Later in the conversation, I told him I had 5 kids then he responded with saying he was done after two.

Guess he wanted to focus on more important things like consooming shoes.

Ego and pride. It's all about *appearing* better than everyone else. That's why they get offended if you say something they perceive as disrespectful. In order to appear better, they fixate on whatever is *the thing*. Sometimes that thing has passed, but they still think it matters. Shoes were big. Starter jackets and Cadillacs were also popular.
