When the entire team at your office gets dismissed for their merits and great work. Except you, because you set up a conference call for the last hour of the day.

The refusal to acknowledge the professional acumen of an ethnicity other than one's own, based on a stereotype and position that one's racial/ethnic background is superior.
Ex 1: The intellectual ethno-dismissiveness (IED Complex)of voters who discredit the validity of President Barack Obama's abilities in office, fueled the Tea-Party movement.
Ex 2: A minority expert in his or her field is questioned or double-checked on findings. Meanwhile, the response of someone who fits the challenger's idea of "the expert" may have little or no experience, but is respected and accepted with few questions.

It defeats the purpose of the bell, teachers keep students in because they don't care about the students, and want them to keep them in for an "important" reason. Why can't the teacher go over it next time?

When someone or something asks you a question only to say something like "never mind", and then exiting the conversation belittling you.

No, you jackass. That's not how it works. What you're doing is what every idiot on the planet does when there's some sort or disagreement. It's the most common modern fallacy. It's not an official fallacy. It's ORIGINAL. UNIQUE. Which is what I do here. ORIGINAL refutations of morden misconceptions.
Hym "Let's call it 'Dismissal from emotion falacy.' Here's how it's works: You use my emotional state or project a negative emotional state (Anger, Jealousy, Fear) on to me for the purposes of dismissing a proposition or statement. It's fallacious (obviously) because my emotional state has has no baring on the truth of my proposition. 2+2=4 regardless of whether or not I'm angery while I tell you that 2+2=4. My emotional state is irrelevant. And by accusing me of 'Jealousy' you're doing the EXACT SAME THING leftist do when they accuse conservatives of being transphobes or homophobes. Protecting 'Fear' on to them for the purpose of dismissing their propositions. There you have it. 'Dismissal from emotion fallacy' that's the thing you're doing. Look for it. You'll see it all the time. People do it all the time."
