Convince me NOT to hire you?

I've yet to see anyone not say to reverse the question and come up with reasons TO be hired.
I did that myself in the interview. I was told that I gave a good answer but I still had to answer the original question.

I thought about the traits that I used to sell myself and then came up with the opposite characteristics:
- If you want a 9:00-5:00 person, don't hire me.
- If you want a person with questionable ethics, don't hire me.
- If you want a person who won't ask questions, don't hire me.
- If you want a person who can't come up with creative solutions, don't hire me.
- If you want a person who doesn't care for advancement, don't hire me.

Don't hire me if:
1. you want someone who loves to gossip so to be the life of the office.
2. you want someone who ignores the concerns of someone who may not make big purchases for someone who may
3. you want someone to focus on shortcuts for quantity instead of quality
4. you want someone who cares about finishing only up to the minimum
5. you want someone who clocks in late and clocks out on time or early
6. you want someone who keeps the customer's change, after the customer says to keep the change.
7. you want someone who thinks testing out the iPad on display by playing Plants vs. Zombies or Diner Dash for hours is productive use of company time.
