  To argue with my DH because he is WRONG.  (96 Posts) BoozyBear
Mon 02-Sep-13 21:23:40  DH seems to have some issue over the use
of "this" and "next" for naming days in the week.  To me NEXT
Thursday is the 12th. THIS Thursday is the 5th.  DH disagrees,
he says NEXT Thursday and means the 5th  We have been arguing
about this for years and my BFF agrees with me but he says we're
trying to confuse him! Obviously it has caused some problems
when talking about plans but he he refuses to believe us that he
has it wrong.  So if someone says Next Thursday to you, which do
you automatically assume they mean? 5th or 12th?

missed my friend's husband's birthday party as she sent an email
invite stating next and meant this.  SarahBumBarer Tue 03-Sep-13

would you take the first bus that came or the second?  The first
obviously.  He is right. You are wrong.  YABU grin  DadDadDad
