When two or more people are so courteous to one another, it becomes painful.
Particularly common with food at restaurants, or when opening doors for others.

"Parky, would you like this last dumpling?"
"No, please. You have it."
"Parky, I insist. Please eat it."
"I couldn't possibly take that last dumpling. Please, it's yours..."
Ad nauseam.
WAITER: "Welp! It looks like we've got ourselves a Mexican Stand-Down!"

A professional, on stage in a comedy club, who suddenly understands there is no humor in our predicament, nowhere he can take us that is any more absurd than the facts, and walks off.
Oh, he had material ... Mexico building a wall to keep Americans out... Ivanka's first act as president, pardoning her imprisoned daddy, children dying so the school cafeteria staff could return to work... but he saw that we had fallen beyond the reach of laughter. He was finished, a stand down comedian, and others would silently follow.
