For a daily meeting, I hear about a lot of stuff that usually has nothing to do with what I'm working on. Inevitably, two people get sidetracked and talk for 15-30 minutes on an issue that only affects them, making it a huge waste of time. (I know that isn't how daily meetings are supposed to work, but that's what happened at the place that did them.)
