THIS! A million times this!! It’s literally implying the opposite of their intent in that you have to have someone else HELP YOU because you OBVIOUSLY can’t pull yourself up by your own bootstraps!
One way to use this phrase correctly would be “No one can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, we all need some help along the way.”!
They need to put it explicitily into the terms and conditions :-D He should always have to enter with his own card but that’s somewhat on those that swiped for him, they shouldn’t have. Yes he’s taking the piss but if they don’t specify time limits or “fair use” in the terms and condidtions that’s on them.
