My Uncle was in the Army Air Force, he would be working on a plane, certain pilots would hang around and want to help. Most would just slow things down. My uncle would slip an extra bolt, nut or washer out of this pocket. When the job was completed pilot would ask what about these. My uncle would say, "Hmmm cant remember I thought I had everything correct. Well take them with you in case you need them later".
 
Or improved your memory so you could remember where you took it out of! Drives me crazy. I frequently have an extra bolt and I dunno where I got it! Seems to work fine though...until it don't.
 
My brother was service manager at the Olds garage for a while. A guy came in one time,had a screw in his hand and said he found it on the floor of his car after they worked on it. My brother took it out of his hand,threw it across the parts room and said "Found what screw?".
 
When I was in high school auto mechanics class, we would get cars from a local used car lot as guinney pigs to work on.

I was doing a cheap quick ring an bearing job on am old Chevy. The teacher was supposed to be leading us through the process, told us not to worry, there will always be some left over bolts.

I looked at him and told him, told him "Not if I can help it"!

So I made sure that wasn't going to happen.

One morning when the job was about done, some extra bolts mysteriously appeared in the bolt tray.

I took them to his office, put them on his desk. Told him "You at least could have used GM bolts"!

We all got a good laugh, and yes, all bolts were accounted for!
 
After I retired from a car dealer I bought a low mile pickup, told them I wanted a driver's door weather-strip, a small trim panel for the right seat, another seat slide little trim piece on the right and a fog light. When I went out to the done row and got in it took about three slams to close the door and the three screw side panel had one screw laying on the floor, fixed that myself and they had to reorder the seat track cover. Girl calls when part comes, says they need an hour to install it , told her the hardest part was getting it out of the box, I'd put it on myself. I retired 2/24/2014 and I bet there has been eight or ten new faces in my old stalls since then, ain't quite as glamorous as those kids thought.
 
When replacing worn out parts I just say the extra pieces were left out to make room for all the new material on those parts.......LOL
