I think it's only okay if you have multiple personality disorder. Even then, it's shady.

(Feb 21 07, 17:42)This comes as no surprise, get used to it. Perhaps our, not we per se, conventions of engrish need to evolve, no?
In Hindi, the 'we' form is considered a formal form for I.

It's okay to do if you're royalty, or if you're just better than everyone else.

"three groups are permitted that usage: pregnant women, royalty, and schizophrenics. which one are you?"

What paraselene said. However, there is a forth group. Those who wish to take no real responsibility in life, and refuse to take responsibility for their actions. This person is likely a dog owner too, and thinks that it's cute and ok to use "we" because the dog is, in fact, a REAL LIVE PERSON. These people will obviously never develop a meaningful relationship with anyone other the mutt. They will have kids either, because no ones wants to get into bed with these dog-owner types who let the mutt into the bed with them.
Yeah I reckon that's it.
