My dad pronounces the word safety as 'say-fuh-tee', with an emphasis on the 'fuh' part, that's always really irritated me.

I'm almost certain there were tv ads in my region that pronounced it like the top gear guys so maybe that's where I originally picked it up.

Just remembered that I had a college professor once who pronounced zero as "zay-roh". He taught physics so he tended to say it a LOT. Another teacher caused a derail in a sciene class when she took out a bottle of "i-oh-deen" and we spent the rest of the class trying to agree on the correct pronunciation. I was in the "i-oh-dyne" camp and I still am.
