When saying "Next" in reference to a time "Next" means the soonest occurrence of that. Don't skip one. If today is friday and I say "Next Saturday", that is tomorrow, not 8 days from now.
My wife does that, I'll ask what she want to do "next weekend" on like Wednesday but that doesn't mean the coming Fri, Sat, Sun to her, that's "this weekend"
I can't deny it does make sense to me somewhat, last is previous, this is current, and next is the one after current, but next and this for weekends are the same until you get to Thursday in my opinion.
Why does it change based on the time of week lmao I'm not upset it just does not compute that the meaning of the word changes simply because the day of the week is different
It's inconsistent but if it were going to vary on anything it would be the current weekday
