I've observed a number of different ScrumMasters facilitating a number of scrum teams and I thought I would summarise the most common pitfalls/bad habits I see most ScrumMasters fall into. By no means am I perfect either, as some of these I even notice myself doing!!!
1. The "Top and Tail" ScrumMaster. Someone who always speaks first or last (or both) at the daily scrum meetings.
2. The "Alarm Clock" ScrumMaster. Someone who calls the start of the daily scrum meetings every day without fail.
3. The "Secretary" ScrumMaster. Someone who always updates the scrum artifacts themself.
4. The "Iconic" ScrumMaster. Someone who calls the team to worship (around their desk) for a daily scrum.
5. The Step-ScrumMaster. Someone who is ScrumMaster-ing another team and likes to think they spend enough time with both, but really they don't.

the last one is interesting, especially as I have 2 teams right now.. I try to co-locate with each team for half the day, but have to be flexible to needs. some teams cope better and are better at owning problems than others.
