"A disturbing number of people can't even get a grip on whether to use me or I. This is not rocket science. It's your own native tongue!"

And there's such an easy way to get it right every time. Just eliminate the other subject in the sentence and use that to judge whether "me" or "I" should be used. The same answer applies when the other subject is included. Definitely a pet peeve of mine when this simple rule is not followed.
"I went to the store" has the same usage as "My wife and I went to the store".
"My mother gave me a present" is the same usage as "My mother gave my wife and me a present".
