Prove I didn't.

      You did it again. Demanding proof for a negative. 

God your memory is so **** ****. No wonder why I have to remind you of the drill every time. 

The error happens when someone shifts the burden of proof by saying:

 “You can’t prove it isn’t true, therefore it must be true.”

 This is known as an argument from ignorance (appeal to ignorance).Why it’s a fallacy:

• Absence of evidence is not evidence of truth.
• Many negatives are logically impossible to prove universally (e.g., “There are no invisible unicorns anywhere in the universe”).
• The person making a claim must provide positive evidence for it.
