Probably asking how much the salary is. Saving Changes...

How soon to be able to take time off : )
Not being genuine, conversational, honest, clear, confident, concise, pleasant, respectful. If they don't want to be around you or don't feel like you'll fit in, then it doesn't matter how much experience you have. Saving Changes...
Asking about overall hike percentage or appraisal cycle...
Not showing good attitude towards work to be done or expectations that a company has.. Saving Changes...
Incomplete research of the Company, their culture and preparation of your marketing speech to present how you can be an asset to their organization. Saving Changes...
A big one is anything which shows a lack of self-awareness or low EQ.

Besides failing to plan his/hers arrival to the meeting, I would say lack of EQ and lack of staying cool under pressure (which should be tested during the interview)
The candidates awareness and ability to read various situations is critical. Not going numb when the storm comes, or when under pressure from stakeholders. Saving Changes...

Why should I hire you for this PM position?
If the candidate is just saying that he/she is passionate about it, doesn't help to stand out from other candidates. They have to demonstrate the "passion" by showing results obtained from previous employers. Saving Changes...
"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not Eureka! (I found it!) but rather, 'hmm.... that's funny...'"
