He would be furious. With him, the dementia not only brought weird ideas, but turned his normally calm personality to a very angry one. He would call me and I'd pick him up and drive him around and distract him until the bank closed for the day. By then he usually had forgotten why were at the bank. When we couldn't get in the door he'd ask if this was a holiday.
Two or three times he went off on the mortgage company. I would tell him I was calling my lawyer and we would take care of it. He calmed down until the next time.
