Every time I have a doctor's appointment or some other reason to briefly leave the office and return (like recently a house inspection) my boss gives me a hard time and asks me to reschedule or finds some non-existant reason why it is incovenient (like: imaginary lack of team coverage or imaginary urgent meeting that never happens).
Recently I got smart. I just disappear! I take the time I need to and no one ever says anything. I always tell my coworker (a normal person) so that no one can say I don't tell anyone and I always make up my hours. But no more formal time requests for the extra half an hour of late lunch or the 2 hour doctor appointment. NOPE! NOT FOR ME!

I used to work at an engineering firm where this actually happened. One of the 20 year veteran engineers would come in, make his rounds to see everyone and would then walk out the back door and go home. At 3:00 he would come back and make the rounds and stay until 4:30 when it was time to go home. He did this for OVER A YEAR before getting caught by a new supervisor. He got a doctors note stating depression so he wasn't reprimanded.

Either total control freak or insecure whimp. Pulling a disappearing act was not an option, calling in sick was.
