Have you ever moved to a place where people were really awful to newcomers?

I have moved several times and I have to say this has never happened to me. I have had experiences where a city just didn’t seem like the right fit, but never experienced neighbors or work colleagues being unwilling to get to know me to see if we get along. Never a neighborhood or town where the social cliques were so tight they didn’t let new people in.

Tell us a story of a bad experience you have had when moving to a new place. I am looking for adult stories, not school age. Was the town large or small? Where was it? What did the people do that was so stand-offish or mean? You can also include breaking into a new group of people when you start dating someone, but I am curious in that situation if where you live might typically be like that.
