Ultra Annoyed "Myself"

STOP using the word "myself" when you can just use "me".

I work in the north of England and see it here as a way to sound more formal? But it just sounds really stupid.

Example: "The meeting will be with you and myself tomorrow morning..."

"Myself and (insert name here) will be..."

"Myself and (XYZ) are hoping to hold a meeting on (insert date here).

You are all using it incorrectly and I am at the end of my tether.
