My insides crawl every time I hear "me and him...(did something)", or "me and her...(did something)". Most likely a hold-over from the Me Generation, it still comes across as aggrandizement of self. To a grammar anarchist, "me" and "him" are bad form (use the subjective "he" and "I"). Be polite and put the other person first.
If you can cure this epidemic, G.A., you'll be a hero in many an English teacher's book.
