Cultural Variations:
Western Cultures: In many Western countries like the U.S. and the U.K., the traditional workweek runs from Monday to Friday. Therefore, Wednesday is often colloquially called "Hump Day." This term is tied to the idea of a workweek structured around the weekend as a period of rest and leisure.
Middle Eastern Countries: In countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the workweek typically runs from Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend. In this case, Wednesday would still be a "Hump Day," as it marks the midpoint of their workweek.
