No, it wasn't me

Hi

It says the correct to use in the idiom, "It wasn't me", is 'I' instead of "me". "me" is objective case of "I" which is subjective. Don't we need to use objective case of 'I' below? In my opinion, "me" is correct. Please guide me on this. Thanks.

I is correct, but since so many people use me instead, it sounds a bit haughty to use the correct pronoun. Sometimes I'm haughty, sometimes I'm not. ]
