When you go into the bathroom with the intent to take a shit, but someone sits down in the stall next to you so you decide to hold it till they leave, but they are doing the same thing. Venezuelan standoffs usually last until one person gives up on taking a shit and leaves. The longest Venezuelan standoff in history lasted 3 days because the person in the stall closest to the door died of dysentery while the janitors were on a strike. After the strike ended the survivor was discovered by a janitor and he was rushed to a hospital.
