Passive voice of 'stand'

Hi

Can the verb 'stand' be used in passive voice?

  1. Most people cannot stand such behavior.
  2. Who can stand such heat?

I mean something like this.

Such behavior cannot be stood.

Thanks,

Tom

I think some Brits say things like

but I don't think it's considered standard.
