So it's ok to be dodgy because someone else is worse?

Can't wait to go into work tomorrow, don't think I'll even bother putting oil in anything. Write a few service stickers then sit on my **** all day at this rate.

You tell your boss that you have work ethics and pride in yourself and don't wish to be sub-standard.
If they boss does not like it, I am sure there are avenues for an apprentice (especially these days).

Or maybe next time, you will be far more careful and not drop the bolt to begin with if you do not take enough pride in yourself to ensure it is removed..

Seriously though, how do you know the owner of that vehicle isn't a member on here or at least a friend of his..

Think before posting (but I have a sneaky suspicion you are not as you portray... just my opinion).

Why don't you get a magnet and fish it out, not that hard. I have a magnet in telscopic form and one tied to a wire and can be used for just the job. I would not have a tool kit with out them. Works evry time I loose a nut or washer in impossible places.
