I heard today\u2019s phrase of the day in a discussion about being careful what you post online. Someone said that teenagers and college students shouldn\u2019t post pictures of partying, drinking lots of alcohol, or acting in indecent ways. He said, \u201cThose pictures could <strong>come back to bite you<\/strong> when you\u2019re looking for a job someday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If something <strong>comes back to bite you<\/strong>, it means a past situation causes problems later. If a guy posts lots of pictures in which he is drunk with alcohol, maybe later when he\u2019s looking for a job, the potential employer will see those photos and get the impression that he is irresponsible (not responsible) and then choose not to hire him. So the drunk photos he posted in the past <strong>came back to bite him<\/strong> at a later time.<\/p>\n<p>Another example would be, let\u2019s say you treated some people badly in the past. Many years later, you are involved in politics and you are a candidate for the mayor of your city. Now that you are a public figure, the people who you treated badly might tell the media about your poor behavior in the past -and this damages your image. Your past bad behavior has <strong>come back to bite you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Try to think of your own example when something has come back to bite you -or think of an example where you\u2019ve seen this happen to someone else.
