Mary: "Hi, can I help you?"
Mrs. Dayoff: "Hi, I'm Ada Dayoff. I'm here for my 3:00 appointment."
Mary: "I'm sorry... Actually your appointment was for yesterday, Wednesday, at 3:00. But I can reschedule you for..."
Mrs. Dayoff: "But you're the one who told me it was for Thursday!"
Mary: "I called you on Tuesday afternoon, with the rest of my reminders. The notes say I spoke to you directly."
Mrs. Dayoff: "EXACTLY! You said "your appointment is tomorrow!' I remember quite clearly."
Mary: "Yes... And since it was on Tuesday, that would have been for your Wednesday appointment."
Mrs. Dayoff: "But you called me at 4:18 p.m. See? Here's the call time on my phone!"
Mary: "Okay, that's my call, but it says 4:18 p.m. on Tuesday. Your appointment was Wednesday. Today is Thursday."
Mrs: Dayoff: "Look! Everyone knows that if you say tomorrow BEFORE 4:00 p.m. you mean the next day, and if you say tomorrow AFTER 4:00 p.m. you mean the day after tomorrow."
Mary: "Uh..."
Pause.
Mrs. Dayoff: "Anyway, I'll reschedule. Do you have anything for tomorrow?"

Like, it depends on what your definition of the word is is.
She obviously worked in the banking world, so any transactions processed after 4pm would be posted the following business day.
Huh?
Who ever heard of a Doctor's appointment on Wednesday.
In 8th grade algebra class, the teacher gave an equation and called on a classmate for the answer. She said, "A few." After some clarification, in her world "a few" meant three.
Yet another raise is due Mary...
and, who's on first??
"4 pm here in Grumpyville is midnight for my handlers back in Moscow."
...
It's five o' clock somewhere, so I think Mary deserves a nice cocktail.
Three o'clock on a Wednesday? Only if you see him on the 15th green.
"Is it before or after 4?"
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow....
If Mary had called on the morning of the appointment and said the appointment was for 4:30 that afternoon, which day would she show up?
Everyone knows Wednesday is the doctors day for golf.
