Friend thought "next weekend" was in two days
On Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 11 a.m., I texted a friend: "I'm driving through NYC next weekend if you are around!" He said yes, and we made plans to have lunch Sunday (without mentioning the date to each other). Today, Oct. 6 at 9:22 a.m., he texted me to say he was sorry we missed each other. He thought I meant Sunday, Oct. 4. I meant Sunday, Oct. 11.
How the hell did this guy think next weekend is the coming weekend on a Wednesday? I believe it's pretty clear that when making future plans, "this weekend" refers to the upcoming weekend and "next weekend" refers to the following. Especially middle of the week...
Anyways, I prepared this chart that you can send to your friends if they run into the same problem. It should prevent the whole "this weekend" vs. "next weekend" issue from ruining your future dates, anniversaries, retirement parties and convocations.
