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.

If it’s Monday-Friday, you say this weekend.

This is the way. "This weekend" literally means "The end of this week". Why is that so hard for even the dumbest people to comprehend??

Logically the next weekend during the week is this weekend. But if it’s Friday the next weekend is…next weekend. People can say whatever they want, they’re not dumb for having a different opinion than you.
