Repeat after me:
You talk to me.
I talk to you.
I talk to myself.
You talk to yourself.
You do not talk to myself, and I do not talk to yourself.
This error seems to be contagious in my office.

It seems to be a couple of people that started using it (interestingly
who sit next to each other), and then a few more started saying it.
Because I noticed it and thought about it, I now notice every single
time someone does it. We even had this in an official company
announcement from a senior manager:
"Reporting to myself, Joe Bloggs will take on overall responsibility for
YYY."
Reporting to yourself must be nice.

I once had an English teacher who insisted that saying that you "found
yourself" was nonsense, because how do you "lose yourself"?
