Yes, I too loathe the use of "myself" in place of "I" or "me". I also hear this in restaurants when the server is taking your order: "And for yourself?" It drives me crazy and if I wasn't such a nice person, I would correct them publicly.

My other 2 favorites:
apart vs. a part and
"Congradulations" for those who are confusing "congratulations" with "graduation". SIGH.
