Why Wednesday might be annoying:

    Those following Christian and Jewish traditions confusingly consider it the fourth day of the week.
    It boringly translates as 'mid-week' in many European languages.
    Quakers call it ‘Fourth Day’ because of the pagan associations of Wednesday.
    Jesus was betrayed by Judas on a Wednesday.
    Perhaps for this reason, children born on Wednesday are said to be ‘full of woe.’

Why Wednesday might not be annoying:

    Workers call it ‘Hump Day’ because it marks the mid point of the working week to the weekend.
    The first day of Lent always falls on a Wednesday.
    The daughter from The Addams Family is named Wednesday.
    The Second World War ended on a Wednesday when Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945.
