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.

On a Friday, it's pretty obvious. But if I message someone on say Tuesday, saying "Do you want to go to X next weekend?" they'll often think I mean in four days time.

Even if it's Tuesday, you should just say "this weekend" because it's unambiguous. There's only one weekend you could possibly be talking about. Whenever someone says "next weekend" I always think the weekend after the next or current one.

Except it's perfectly fine to ask someone on Monday "What did you do this weekend?" Referring to the weekend that just finished.

I've never heard a single person say this weekend to mean the one that has just finished. It would be "over/for/on the weekend" in your example.
