The trope is about someone having a really important message (which the audience knows is true), a warning of an impending disaster, something of great importance, and everybody dismissing this person because of prejudice, sometimes even because of some kind of curse, or some other reason (such as your typical \\\"crying wolf\\\" reason).

In other words, the message is always something of great importance, and the reason why the person is not believed is usually illogical (such as prejudice) or perhaps even supernatural (eg. a curse).

Yet whenever you see \\\"Cassandra Truth\\\" in some page (eg. in the page of a movie or tv show), it usually tends to be of the kind \\\"hey, can I go in? I forgot my wallet there.\\\" \\\"Yeah, sure, like I have never heard that one before. Scram.\\\"

I don\\\'t think \\\"Cassandra Truth\\\" refers to \\\'\\\'that\\\'\\\' kind of \\\"not believing someone\\\".
