Perhaps it is not to you, but it is for some of us. I think it is sad to 
infer that people have bad intentions instead of giving them the benefit 
of the doubt and understand that there is an actual confusion.

The other day some friends and I were buying some online tickets for an 
event that began at "midnight". We were not sure if we should buy them 
for that day or the next one exactly because of this ambiguity in the 
system.
We were not trying to exploit anything. We had an honest question and 
didn't want to possibly waste our money because of this uncertainty.
