You might want to think twice before posting your vacation photos on social media, because not only your friends find it annoying, it’s also dangerous, at least that’s what a recent survey found.
The research, conducted by Aviva, a UK-based insurance company, surveyed 2,000 adults and discovered that a whopping 73 percent said they “find it annoying when they see other people’s holiday snaps online”. The most irritating image, according to the survey, were the “hot dog legs on the beach.”
The study also revealed that sharing your photos while you’re still on vacation can actually be dangerous. As more people use social media, the possibility of a vacation robbery is something travellers should be aware of.
The insurance company says, “The habit could also be putting people’s properties and possessions at risk by inadvertently advertising that no one is home, potentially leaving their home vulnerable to thieves.
When you’re on a vacation, it’s natural to want to share your experience with your friends and family. That being said, it doesn’t mean you should stop taking vacation photos.
“The best time to post holiday pictures to social media is when you’re back home,” says Aviva. “If you really can’t wait to share, then at least make sure you’re only posting to a closed circle of trusted friends and family.”
