My favorite thing in the house we just bought was that the hallway ceiling fan upstairs has a remote we didn't know about at first. It has a main power switch in the hallway, pull chains for both fan and lights, and the remote to control them. Apparently when the previous owners vacated they left the fan on and the lights off by the remote and this feature overrides the pull chains. So even when we pulled the chains the lights wouldn't turn on. We finally found the remote in a cabinet in the garage when I was putting some tools away and I noticed the remote had the same name as the fan.
