If you say 'Let's hang out this weekend' on a Sunday afternoon

I can't believe "Current weekend" has 25% of the vote.
You people are illogical!

weekend = saturday/sunday... sunday afternoon still being part of the current weekend, this weekend = current weekend.

So then, on a tuesday you say.. "lets hang out this tuesday", and mean the current day?

yes... of course, I'd never actually say that because it's a stupid way to say things (ie: "let's hang out today" vs "let's hang out next tuesday") but if someone said that to me, I'd assume they meant this tuesday.

no one would ever say that on a Sunday afternoon

I'd check whether that person indeed means 'this', or whether he is retarded and means next weekend.

If at 4PM on monday your boss tells you 'I need that report this monday!', do you postpone it a week, or do you presume he indeed means 'this', rather than 'next'?

Or if you find yourself surrounded by police with guns drawn, and they tell you 'This is your last warning, drop those bags!', do you await that next last warning? 😉

Basically this. If they are dumb enough to say it they probably don't know themselves what weekend they mean, or even what day it is.
