Me either. Although I'm in the "Before around 1970" group, so maybe I'm self-selecting my experience based on my similar-age peer group.

Funnily, "Me either" is also an americanism that seems rather foreign to me. (Me neither would be more likely to be used in the UK in my experience). I think both are rather informal and so neither is necessarily incorrect.
