Life is too short to weave in ends

Ugh, that is the only thing I hate about yarn craft. I despise weaving in the ends, whether I do it along the way or after I've finished the good bit. Here I am weaving in the ends at 3:30 AM because I have forgotten to do so and I am giving this blanket at a shower in the morning. Oh, did I mention I am doing this by lantern light while my kids sleep next to me because we're camping? Is it a crime if I just cut the ends off? How do you deal with the loose ends?
