Isn't a Mexican standoff one involving three people, like in The Good the Bad and the Ugly?

[–]aequitas3 212 points213 points ago

Yes it is.

[–]JohnDoeNuts 69 points70 points ago

I've also heard the phrase being used to describe a situation where 4 people all converge on the same stop sign designated intersection, and everyone sits there waiting for someone to go.

[–]kc7wbq 102 points103 points ago

The person on the right gets to go first, duh!

[–]rook218 35 points36 points ago

4 people on a four way intersection.

I need some help finding the corners on my circle, you might be just the person for the job.

[–]JonnyRichter 83 points84 points ago

I think you got whooshed, friend.

[–]rook218 26 points27 points ago

I considered that, but it's a risk a man has to take.

[–]Cougarlax15 1 point2 points ago

I believe you like he kottonmouth kings?

[–]JonnyRichter 4 points5 points ago

I gave them a listen after I found out he and I have the same name. I like Tangerine Sky; that's about it.

[–]Cougarlax15 4 points5 points ago

Oh wow. I thought you made this your name because you liked them. That's pretty cool that you have the same name though. Their new song cruzin is pretty good too though.

    [–]Mystikilla 3 points4 points ago

    I saw one of them earlier in a class. Two students sitting next to each other both thought get got picked to answer a question after they tried to respond there was a good minute of "Ladies first, no you first" before the teacher just continued the lecture.

        And then all four cars inch forward at the same time and slam the brakes.

        [–]Sriad 4 points5 points ago

        This is closer to a Canadian Standoff because no one is trying to go first.

        [–]stanfan114 2 points3 points ago

        And then there is Bangkok rules.

        In Toronto, I heard it used to describe a situation where two people come towards each other on a side street that is normally wide enough for two cars, but only has room for one because of snow banks on either side of the road.

        Not clear who should get to pass first, and not clear where the other car should go to let them through.

        [–]CrossP 12 points13 points ago

          Very common at the entrance of Tim Horton's

          [–]reallife31415day 71 points72 points ago

          Proper etiquette is for the person on the side the door opens on to go last. In most places this has the effect of letting the person on the inside leave before the new person enters. If there is no door/a sliding door/ect, the person leaving goes first.

          tl;dr Dooriquette, person leaving goes first

          [–]Frailed 14 points15 points ago

          I don't know how to go through a doorway any other way. If you go first you just get in the way.

          [–]Jonny_Watts 5 points6 points ago

          Subway car style

          [–]Gorillaz_Noodle 0 points1 point ago

          Many New Yorkers still fail to understand this.

          [–]FrunkyMcNorman 2 points3 points ago

          Having had these standoffs both in and outside many a Tim Horton's, I believe the most practical approach is to go with whichever way the door swings, as it's difficult to hold the door for somebody if it swings out towards them.

          Edit: reread your comment more carefully, you are correct sir. Sorry.

          [–]txmadison 0 points1 point ago

          Of course it's difficult with that attitude.

          [–]ZombiePilot15 2 points3 points ago

          I feel like a dick now because of all the times I've done the opposite of this.

          [–]Rhynocerous 1 point2 points ago

          But what if it's cold out and everyone wants to be inside for a long time

          [–]ceakay 17 points18 points ago

          As a Canadian, I don't understand what you mean by 'cold'.

          [–]_xiphiaz 1 point2 points ago

          What then if you are male and leaving the building with outwardly opening door and a female wanting to go in? Etiquette paradox.

          [–]Ceejae 1 point2 points ago

          It doesn't really make sense for door etiquette to apparently always apply like this, for a number of reasons.

          [–]thatnewjunksmell 1 point2 points ago

          I was thinking "door etiquette" and that sounds like Dorito kit. And that's like make your own Doritos - which sounds awesome. And yes, of course you can have some of my home made Doritos.

          [–]Ryan_Grywa 1 point2 points ago

          I dislike how every building doesn't build their doors to all open outwards...

          Hey, I'm the author of this comic, thanks for linking to it!

          I have a small request, if I may, if you could link directly to the page in the future. I know it may not seem like much difference, but I love drawing these comics and those few extra pageviews will enable me to do more of these, more often. Don't worry -- the server can handle the reddit effect (mostly).

          I hope you can take this into consideration. Regardless, thanks for the link back.

          [–]1919[S] 19 points20 points ago

          Noted, thanks!

          [–]tehcharizard 10 points11 points ago

          You honestly probably get more hits from the imgur link and mention than you would from the direct link. A lot of redditors basically scroll past anything that isn't an imgur link.

          [–]DoctorWombat 5 points6 points ago

          Hmm, that's a good point. Time for an experiment..

          Yep! Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

          [–]loconet 2 points3 points ago

          That was the most polite request for linking I have ever seen. Let me do some resarch...

          The fact that those two teams are in United States is kind of ironic.

              To be fair, the two players fighting in the photo, Adam McQuaid and Brian Sutherby, are both Canadian.

              I'm Canadian, and in this situation I think the person not holding the door should go first, otherwise there is some awkward walking past each other while transferring the door holding responsibility.

                  Then one Canadian finally makes the decision and apologizes after walking through the doorway.

                  [–]anthropogenic 22 points23 points ago

                  This is exactly what happens all the damn time. I usually end up being the one to go first because while my Canadian sensibilities say to let the other person go I can't waste the time to stand around in every stinking doorway.

                  [–]savagefox 7 points8 points ago

                  Agreed. I also find it becomes more awkward the longer both people wait so I usually just go first. But always apologize.

                  [–]DukeCanada 5 points6 points ago

                  You guys are bad at this, the person who's holding the door always goes last!

                  [–]anthropogenic 0 points1 point ago

                  I don't think you run into enough of the stereotypical canadians then. At my university when I hold open a door people will stand there and wait until I go through. I'm not talking like 4-5 seconds either I'm talking like full awkward as hell 20 second pauses that I don't have time for between classes. This is what i get being an american in canada, I just can't do it.

                    Shit ok so I was walking out of school today and I saw a kid walking in towards the same door, but the windows are tinted which makes it difficult to see in but not out, and he was texting. So he got to the door just before me but hesitated to open, and I'm there standing on the inside of it, and I can't open it cuz he's right fucking there blocking the door, and then he looks up at me, opens the door, and we both apologize before I walk through and we go on our merry way.

                    [–]RyanSmithN 6 points7 points ago

                    A Canadian standoff is actually a real thing, but it's where 2 or more people are at an intersection and everyone is offering someone else the right of way, meanwhile no one is moving. The longest Canadian standoff on record actually took place in Milwaukee in 1995 and lasted over 4 minutes.

                    [–]0xFFE3 2 points3 points ago

                    There's a 4-way stop down the road from my apt., and I can assure you they last much longer than 4 minutes.

                      Waiting for obligatory "American" standoff... Fatties in buggies.

                      As a Canadian, I have had this happen to me far to often.

                      I don't think Canadians are all that nice, met some at PAX few years back and they where being real dicks about us cutting infront of them in line. Talk about rude.

                        As a Canadian, it's easier to count the times this hasn't happened.

                        As a Canadian it is sad I see less and less of these standoffs in the big cities.

                        [–]LlamaLlamaPingPong 0 points1 point ago

                        Not all big cities, just the ones that have a smaller Canadian to foreigners ratio.

                        That is so true.

                        I assume a mix of both, you meet someone in a doorway and if they don't move you shoot them.

                        The one who was to leave should go first, as the other person is already holding the door open. It would be terribly rude to try and hold an already open door at the place where it is hardest to hold to keep open, for a person who much then go around you, AND a door that could slap them in the ass at any given moment.

                        Either that, or I am a strange man who holds door open regardless of my position relative to the ideal spot on the door door.

                        Are Canadians really that nice? Because rude people piss me off, which makes me an asshole in public. I dont want to drag my trashy ass up there and ruin it but I am sure if I was around people this polite all day I could relax and smile... gooday mate and all that.

                        [–]LlamaLlamaPingPong 0 points1 point ago

                        Yes. We really are that nice. Even when we're rude we still apologize.

                          As a Canadian, I wonder if this steady flow of posts telling the world how polite we are is only making them angrier at us for setting the bar so high and thinking too highly of ourselves.

                          Apply the Canadian standoff to drivers at an intersection in Washington, US. It drives me nuts that no one seems to know the right of way. They just insist that you go first. Of course, that's better than someone tailgating or cutting me off.

                          The guy on the right should go first. If the guy on the left went first, the door would close on the other guy.

                          I once nearly died of dehydration and fatigue trying to amicably end a classic Canadian Standoff. "After you!" I kept begging him. How on earth could I go first? It'd be rude.

                          I had a Canadian standoff with an old man at a Tim Hortons for a good 5 minutes. In the winter. We were both wearing toques. We also apologized once we finally figured out how to get away from it. It was so Canadian it hurt. Literally, my toes were numb.

                          Ha, I used to do the anti-Canadian Standoff. Someone had opened the door for themselves, and may or may not have held it open an extra second for me. I speed up, align myself slightly sideways and slip through the undisturbed door like a ninja, while the person behind me now has to deal with a more-closed-than-expected door. I later realized this was a bit dickish.

                          This image makes me laugh simply because after moving to Canada I'm surprised to notice that #1, Canadian's don't say thanks when you hold the door for them, and #2, when you thank a Canadian for holding the door for you they are noticeably shocked and maybe a little embarrassed...

                          I remember when I was younger my dad was waiting at an intersection and had a standoff with a pedestrian for who went first. First my dad waved, then the pedestrian waved, then they both tried to go at the same time and immediately stopped, then it was back to square one. Repeat about 4 more times.
