How can you stand (something)?
When something seems annoying or horrible to you, but someone else doesn't seem bothered by it, you can ask "How can you stand ___?" For example, if there's some loud construction work being done outside your office, but one of your coworkers is working normally, you can ask:
How can you stand this noise?
You can also talk about things that annoy you with the expression "I can't stand ___":
I can tolerate the heat, but what I can't stand is this humidity!
