politeness - Is it impolite to say "me" first?








Having been raised with German as my first language, my parents took very much care that I would not mention myself fist: If I told them that I did something with my friends - "me, Bob and Andrew" - I was always corrected to say "Bob, Andrew and me" instead.



Is there a similar rule or is it perceived to be similarily impolite to mention oneself first in the English language?
