Mexican Standoff

It refers to a no-win/no-lose situation. It does not require three participants; two is enough.

There's a 19th Century story in Mexico that illustrates the Mexican Standoff very well. Two horse carriages going in the opposite direction entered a narrow street and met halfway through. Neither could move forward, and each insisted that the other back his horse carriage up. Each sent servants for foor and water, and both stayed firm for several days, until the authorities made both of them back up.

standover man

Aussie slang for an extortionist who uses physical violence (or threats thereof) to extract payment on behalf of another party.

You might pay a standover man to get some money owed to you instead of going via the police. Perhaps you might order a few broken ribs or a kneecapping as an object lesson to go along with the payment.

sidewalk standoff

When two parties approaching each other in opposite directions on the sidewalk are both walking on the same side, and they both refuse to move to the other side of the sidewalk to avoid a collision.

I was walking down the street and some guy challenged me to a sidewalk standoff, but eventually he moved over to the other side. Pwned.
