Certain things really bug my OCD. One of them is bolts that are too long with the ends exposed.
A good example of that are the door hinge bolts for the rear doors. I couldn't resist cutting them off while they were easy to access.

Heres a shop life hack I use when cutting bolts short. I place a thin flat washer over the bolt as a sacrificial piece. This allows me to use a cut off wheel for quick cuts and not damage the surface below.
