into an hour long rant.? My boss does this a lot and it driving me crazy lol. I clock out and then I have to stay half an hour or an hour or so just to end a conversation.
 
Listen politely as long as you can stand it. Then look at your wrist as if you just accidentally noticed your watch.

"Oh my gosh, is that the time? I promised my friend I'd meet her 5 minutes from now. Can we finish this tomorrow? I'd love to hear the rest of your story..." If you do the same thing 3 days in a row he'll probably get the hint.
 
You need for this permanent solution.So you can say like,my boy friend needs me at home at that time,or my baby,or I have joined some health center etc. so you have to leave at this time. look at your watch and sorry sir I have to go now.Simple is that,but reason should be solid.
 
You opened the door by initiating the conversation.

So if u know they are like that, why do u always engage in it.

Just be distant and they wont engage u in that conversation.
