There's a little more to it. But I think God knows that some of His children will be really uncomfortable around that so He administers to them in less spectacular ways like you describe. That's why it doesn't really bother me that some people don't want spiritual gifts in their church as long as they don't try to discourage everyone else in other churches.
It's not about constant proof. It's about letting the Holy Spirit do what He wants according to what it says in the Bible and not restrict Him.
Oh I should post some videos for anyone who want to learn more about speaking in tongues. I have two right now: The Handsome Version and the Easy Visual Version!

I believe that if believers pray to receive the gifts that the Spirit will give, that they will receive what they NEED... not what they WANT.
"11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He [l]wills."
I truly WANTED to experience speaking in tongues, but was not given that gift. I'm ok with that, as I don't NEED it to fill some void in my walk with Jesus. I don't need to SEE it, to prove to me that the Spirit is in and among us.
If others truly need that, then I'm certain the Spirit is willing to provide it. But, to say that EVERY believer "if they are truly baptized in the Spirit" should speak in tongues is completely un-scriptural.... and it can, and will lead to feelings of inadequacy in new believers, or it will encourage them to manufacture their own "tongue language" so they can prove their acceptance.
All because of the false emphasis placed on the LEAST of the spiritual gifts.... it's all about the "show".....
