Occurs when two men are at adjacent urinals and neither can start peeing due to the combination of nerves, silence, and overall awkwardness.
Derived from the old joke, best read aloud: If you're American when you go into the bathroom, and American when you come out, what are you when you're in the bathroom? ... European! (You're a' peein')

Man 1: Wow, you were in there for a long time? Were you taking a dump?
Man 2: No, I got caught in a European Standoff. I had to wait until the other guy gave up and left to start peeing.

Get the European Standoff mug.When there are too many guys at a party and only a few females to go around. None of the men want to leave because each thinks he will be the one to get lucky.

Get the Mexican Standoff mug.When two men take adjacent urinals at the same time and are unable to take their piss. The man who walks away first loses and the winner is able to do his business in peace.
Man 1: I just finished the longest urinal standoff in my life.
Man 2: Did you win?
Man 1: No, and the worst part is, I still need to pee!

Get the facebook standoff mug.Two cars arrive at a four-stop at the same time. Both cars inch forward and stop, but no one crosses the intersection. And we wait. And wait. Cars in this situation are typically driven by Asians.
I could't get through the intersection quickly because we had an Asian Standoff blocking the intersection.

Get the asian standoff mug.When 2 (drunk) individuals approach a single toilet restroom at the same time, and it's unclear who should go first. Occasionally, it results in a tie, whereby both individuals use the facilities simultaneously.
Downed 7 Old Styles and ran to the jon during halftime. This other guy was doing the same, which resulted in a Wrigleyville Standoff

Get the Wrigleyville Standoff mug.Seen two homeless guys arguing over a donut. I, being the problem solver I am, suggested the Alabama Standoff. Sometimes guns aren't the answer.
