Proof is a wonderful thing... when you have it.
Where could one obtain this "proof" you speak of?

Meh.
Proofing on the other hand... [u]THAT[u] leads to wonderful things!
I'm partial to fresh-baked sourdough!
Blame it on the technology: "Yes, ma'am, I'm quite sure you dialed the correct number, but the system connected you to us. If you'll just try it again, a little slower, it should go through correctly."
If they still get you, well, I dunno. 
What amuses me is that we, my place of employment, refers to the proofer as the retarder. It's quite amusing in that juvenile sort of way.

Except more of the elderly people than teen-aged boys woud probably have a valid physiological reason for not hearing you clearly. Plus, when there's money involved, especially if it's the only income, I think people are already so on-edge that it doesn't take much to push them over. Mess with my rent or food money and I'll have my cranky pants on, too.

A strong argument can be made that the huge amount of hormones running around a 19 year old male's brain like their pants are on fire is in fact a valid physiological reason. One recent study has likened the hormonal influx during the teenage years to cocaine addiction.
God knows at 19 I wasn't fit to be let out of a house or near a means of communication. Or popcorn for that matter.

You beat me to it.
I've seen a number of documentaries that really illustrate the reality that the human brain in the late teens (especially males) is a hot mess of cross-wired behaviour and input.

Not just males, although it takes longer to sort out.
After all, one's brain is still forming/developing until well into the 20's, which is what makes drugs or alcohol even more damaging to a teenager than to an adult.

By 19 most girls have moved past it because they tend to start earlier and finish earlier than males. 19-year old boys are comparable to 16-year old girls. The difference is that they simply manifest differently, but the degree of immaturity is very similar.
That's also why I'm glad that most of my "extra-curricular activities" tended to manifest after I was 24 or so. I tend to be a bad boy sometimes when it comes to those issues...

Right, that's what I meant by it taking longer to sort.
I'm surprised I survived past 20.

What the hell is it with old people?!
Do they think that because they're old they have a [censored] license to be rude or something?!
At work we have a 1-800 number that's literally one digit off from the old-age pension division of Human Resources Canada. So, at the middle/end of every month we get these old, [censored] codgers calling up (usually women, I'm not sure why) wanting to talk about their pension.
I always answer the phone the same way... "Flight Operations, [last name]" and what happens... ? "Yah, I recieved a letter in the mail, I haven't gotten my pension cheque... bla-bla"
WHAT PART OF "FLIGHT OPERATIONS" INDICATES TO YOU THAT I HAVE ANYTING TO DO WITH YOUR [censored] PENSION?! [u]LISTEN WITH YOUR [/i]EARS!!!![/i][u]
Then, as if that's not enough, once I make it clear to them, usually by having to say it five times that this is TRANSPORT CANADA, and not HUMAN RESOURCES CANADA (it's not even the same number of syllables for [censored] sake!!!), they then proceed to argue with me about what phone number they dialed!
If I'm lucky, they'll just hang up. No goodbye... nope, no "oops, sorry about that", nope. Just "Oh- *click*" as if it's my fault, as if somehow I've inconvenienced them.
That's if I'm lucky...
If I'm not lucky I then have to have a 15-minute conversation with some 70-year old French-Canadian woman who sounds very much like she was rode hard and put away wet about how it's MY fault that she misdialed and answer a survey about what number SHE dialed, what number she was supposed to dial, what MY phone number is and who the hell I am.
I had one old [censored] actually ask for my supervisor because he thought I was giving him the run-around. So convinced was he in his own infallibility that it never occured to him that he dialed the WRONG [censored] NUMBER!
I swear to dog, I'm going to surround myself with honest people and if I ever get to that point where I'm a rude, self-entitled old jerk that they'll just put a bullet in my head and bury me in a shallow grave somewhere, as befitting people who are [censored].

I work at an amusement park and the willful ignorance of some of our customers is blinding. If there are bottles waaaaaay over there and baseballs in front of you, perhaps you should throw the ball at the bottles. And why are you asking me how to play and how much it costs when there is a three foot tall sign with rules and a foot tall bright red $1 sign 6 inches from your head?
I tell all our new employees that people don't come here to read so, they won't.
I also work on the beach at the top of a bay. When people look across to the other side they, on occasion ask: Is that Hawaii?
Of course we say: Nossir, Hawaii is well south of us... That's Japan.

Why do you not just hang up after you tell them who you are? or are you not allowed to hang up? As in "sorry ma'am you have dialed a wrong number you have called Flight operations have a nice day". *click*
