Its highly dependent on personality of course, but Ive also seen this. A person that REALLY likes to talk for 10 minutes about details... which nobody really cares about. He even understood that it was not what anyone else wanted, but he thought "the standup is useless unless I get to say something elaborate and long-winded!"

He could not understand that "I had not trouble yesterday, and today I will keep going on my task" could be a useful update to the team. I mean, in general it isn't but when something unexpexcted happens you are supposed to say it, not something unique for every day. 90% of my dailies are basically: "I am still working on X, and its moving forward, continuing today".
