FOX新闻:朋友圈晒度假照需谨慎

TRANSCRIPT

A new study by UK insurance firm Aviva found most people do not like seeing friend's vacation pictures on social media. Out of 2,000 people surveyed, 73 percent said they find it annoying. The most irritating pose, was said to be the "hot dog" pose or photos of legs poolside or at the beach. While the majority of folks see time-off photos as a turn-off, 77 percent admitted they post vacation pictures themselves.

The study also notes sharing snaps while away could make you an easy target for potential burglars, revealing when you're not home.
