when you simply need to see someone you cant normally and noone can cover you

Set yourself up for the future by mentioning a problem like chronic migraine or nausea while you're at work, in chit chat; you aren't sure you want to waste money on a doctor, but maybe you should ". . . because it's getting kind of bad."
Then you can later call off with the excuse of having the problem that you've always had, and most people won't assume that you have just been planning to use that excuse to take a single day off since the "problem" started.

This really depends on what job you do and how badly you need it. I would question the "need" to see someone, and why it is you "can't normally see them". If it's a love interest or a friend, and you just really WANT to go, don't risk losing your job.
If your mother is sick in the hospital, or great aunt Lucinda with one kidney is in town, you should be honest with your boss. There is no need to get personal, you should just tell them a family situation has arisen, and you will be taking the day off and will stay late when you return to work to help with the backup.
Let me tell you, bosses know when you are lieing. Sometimes we may not let you know we know, but we do.
I hope this is very important, not just some flighting fancy. Don't risk losing your job for someone else. You're the only one who pays your bills.

Just say you're sick. Don't bother coughing into the phone either, only fakers do that.
