  I think while I will choose option 1)
  
  cannot always assume that it is always okay for someone else if the roles were reversed and if the person insist on correct change, also no need to get too offended. It's just money.

  i would probably not even take his $10++, since i'm working then its really ok to just give him a treat of 11.70 i guess, but not everytime of course. Anyone with me?

  Now, let say you are A, what will you do if your friend B insisted on either Option 2 or Option 3?

  Then just buy him a drink. If he insists on me giving him the $10 he's a cheap bastard.

  6) I will just tell him that he owes me $1 and pay me back whenever it is available, but without expectations that it will be returned.
  
  Coz if B goes for Choice #1, it may leave an impression on A that he's a cai tou and it may become a point of reference the next time B lends money to A. Like, "wah lau, that time you gave me $1 also nebber mind. now treat me one ice-cream ngiow so much." This one more shang gan qing, I think.
  
  Then for my choice, if A does pay back that $1 someday, it shows that he is honest / not forgetful and B will find him more reliable and trustworthy in the future. So with $1, B can tell whether A is reliable (and gets back that $1), or not (and loses that $1). I know $1 may not mean much, but at least B will have a better idea on what to do if A wants to borrow $100 from B in the future.

  You may realise that overlooking this $1 will go a long way in future.
