Couldn't you just... work from home, and pretend to be at an office? Unlikely that anyone would ever notice...

I got caught doing this, but yes, I tried many times.

I worked from home on that job for weeks at a time and no one said anything. The funny thing was that when I was at the office, anytime I needed to speak w/ anyone, I had to leave my desk and find a quiet place. It was inane. The only upside was the free Diet Dr. Pepper.

That's why it's silly to have policies about who is where when.

When people are camping in meeting rooms all day, you have no idea who's "in" just by skimming the seating.
