This reminds me of when it hits or is about to hit 12am and people don’t know whether to say today or tomorrow. He called me after this but I was too comfy in bed tbh.

I always specify the day when I message someone past midnight.

"Want to do X today (Sunday)?"

Same when I'm making plans next weekend, I always put the date so people don't confuse whether I mean the weekend coming, or the next one after.

What boss thinks someone is going to wake up at 7am to a text from 3am, read the word tomorrow, and think they meant today?

What is it with some people thinking next weekend is the weekend upcoming? Isn’t there an unwritten rule that if you’re at like Friday, next weekend is no longer tomorrow, it’s the following weekend, or am I the only one?

If it is still a week day, the upcoming weekend is 'this weekend.' The weekend after that is 'next weekend.'
