Things got HOSTILE at this Flea Market

Shop with me at some Florida thrift stores, then let's head to the swap meet for my first time ever. It didn't go as planned!

If people don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.

[@thehomeschoolingpicker]

Agreed!!

[@heidifruchtl354]

Just asking, if I say that something isn't my taste, is that acceptable? There's lots of stuff that I see that I don't like for me. There's a lot that I can say is nice, gorgeous, but won't work for me, simply because size, style, shape, color. Which is honest. I grumble because I will love something, but it won't love me back.

[@donnahughes8409]

Absolutely.. That’s what my Daddy always taught me.

[@katbow5922]

No need to put yourself in hostile places. Life is to short🤗

[@Elizabeth-tb5wh]

I live by that. Why take the time to be unkind when it’s SO much easier to be nice. I just don’t get it. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️🙏🏻❤️

[@mandysparks5311]

After I retired from the military I wanted to finally do something fun with my hair because anything other than more natural colors wasn’t allowed…anyway i went with blonde with the tips dark purple. I was shopping one day and this man in his 70s looks at me with a disgusted look on his face and asks me why I would do that to my hair. I was shocked that he felt he had the right to ask that. I’ve also had a guy say something about my jeans with holes in them too. You were absolutely right….nobody’s business and speaks volumes to the type of person they are.

[@mandysparks5311]

Also, I’m pretty sure there’s no expectation of privacy at an open flea market like that either with the woman that was upset you were recording

[@kristinbraun5442]

I'm happy you didn't let the ruin your day and you went back into the Flea Market! Keep being the happy, bubbly, polite person that you are and don't let those mean spirited people bring you down. :D

[@tiffanymunro2083]

And also good to listen to your gut, take yourself to a safe place, and take a breath.

[@briannawood4414]

You're so sweet I almost started crying when you were talking in your car about judgemental mouthy people. I'm having a mental health day myself. I need a day to decompress from all the ugly out in this world. Glad you're home and safe. Happy Thursday have a great day! 😊🌈

I am forever impressed by you. Don’t let the wackadoos at crappy flea markets bring you down. 😉 I admire how you vent in the moment and then carry on with your day.

[@OhmegadJT]

It’s almost funny in a depressing kind of way that everything that could’ve went wrong at the flea market did. Scammy booth, random lady yelling about being filmed, creepy guy commenting on appearance. It’s the the perfect storm of rudeness and craziness.

[@pennystarr-ashton7268]

I am proud of you, Kayla, for going back in and not letting them get to you! You are a beautiful soul!

[@sheilacolton3274]

I live in Central Florida and my daughter lives in South Florida in the Ft. Lauderdale area . Every time I visit her I am appalled at the rudeness of some of the people down there...its like stepping onto a different planet . The difference in the two regions of the same state is remarkable to say the least . I'm sorry you had such a bad run in of rude people in our state....we aren't all like that 😉.

[@brush412]

Yes South Florida is a different beast. Honestly I think it’s a lot of people that have migrated from NY or other countries that live there. I live in Central Florida too and people are more laid back and polite here.

I get stressed when I am followed or someone wont stop talking to me while I'm shopping. I understand how you felt.

[@traceybader4302]

NO WAY!!! Let me first apologize on behalf of all Florida Natives for the rude and disrespectful mannerisms of those who were so harsh to you. People can be so cruel and often times is what formulates us for who we become. Not all of us are mean- please know that. Keep being you and showing us Floridians that you are the real MVP Kayla. You inspire so many of us and that keeps us all going. XOXO

[@savedbyshosh2676]

Sorry that happened to you at the flea market...People can be cruel and rude, and I'm happy that you pushed yourself to go back in. It literally brought tears to my eyes when you described the situation, because I too have been there. Stay the kind, happy person you are and I wish you and your husband continued success! Love your channel!

[@grande1184]

Stay strong girl. Sadly there are people like that everywhere you go. Must have miserable lives. I know you can handle it so keep on doing your thing. You always seem to pull out a win with your picks.

[@jillhagee5373]

Kaylee, I’m so impressed by your courage! You step out of your comfort zone quite a bit on your videos, and you show all of us what is possible if we do the same. Don’t worry about people’s opinions or words. If you do right you will always have confidence. May Jesus continue to bless you and your family! Thank you for sharing your life with all of us! 🙏🙂jill

You are blessed to live where you live - everyone is SO much nicer. Here in New York you must develop a thicker skin in order to survive.

Awe Kayla! I'm so sorry you had such a bad experience at the flea market. I'm like you, I probably would've cried or something. Especially when that guy was insulting your outfit. 😭😭 We just have to try and forgive those folks and pray for them.

[@red-robin]

You were right down the street from my house (before the swap shop). I can hook you up with any shipping you need to do if you get lucky and can't fit it all in the suitcase! lol And now I see you are home. South Florida takes some getting used to.

[@beckycoley2483]

[@victoriapitt2305]

I can relate to this video! I would feel mad nervous in such a negative atmosphere. Even though I’m a fairly independent lady, I’m also sensitive and it takes me a minute to compose myself when people act crazy towards me. What’s making me laugh is thinking about how you could turn these scenarios into a “Florida Man” headline. Florida Man Stares At Woman’s “Holy”. Jeans; Thinks He Sees the Virgin Mary. 😂 For those of you who haven’t heard of this before, it’s a funny trend to Google “Florida Man” and your birthday to see what nutty headlines pop up.

But you are a sensitive soul and I understand.

[@maxwellandimovetohawaii4253]

I did the same thing at my first visit to a new to me flea marketthis year, I freaked out after my first walk through because of similar issues. I was alone, strange people, weird vibes. I didn't buy a thing, went back to my car intending to leave (after driving over an hour to get there) Then I gave myself a pep talk, went back through and ended up having a good day of buying and found several people selling that I knew! And the people I bought from were so nice. Sorry you got yelled at though. Thought I would share so you know that you are not alone with the apprehension.

I'm sorry you got yelled at like that, its like that in bigger areas.Unfortunately I do let things like that deter me, so good for you that you went back in and tried again, especially being by yourself. Keep your head up girl, your doing great. I wish everyone had a big heart like you, it would sure make life easier. Oh, and great finds, lol.😉

[@eve_evescollection]

You handled this so well Kayla! What happened to you brought back memories of what happened to us once - also in Florida while on vacation. We were at an outdoor sale where a large amount of vendors were set up under canopy tents. My husband and my son were looking at some items on a table, when suddenly a small antique heater sitting under the table fell over. No harm done - nothing damaged at all - it landed softly on the grass. The booth owner came out loudly screaming at my husband telling him to get out and that he didn't "belong here." He told her he would gladly leave and said "You got one thing right Lady, I don't belong here." LOL....

[@freewheeling6786]

Baby, don't let people make you feel less than who you are. You are awesome. And you show that EVERY day. Just laugh at those fools and move on. That's THEIR insecurities, and if they can bring someone else down, it only makes them feel better... and if you're not packing heat, listen to your gut and don't walk in places where you're uncomfortable. You make me proud... all my love, Gypsy Willow Treasures (Teresa)

You can film anything you want to out in public. Those people at the flea market can't have any reasonable expectation of privacy in that setting. I am a sensitive person too, Kayla, but I can't tolerate a bully and that's just what she was. I'm not sure I could have walked away from that one! 🤬
