I bought cast iron pan which I think is the best ever purchase I made.

One of my favorite purchases in terms of usefulness, cost, and fun (relative) was these frigging ceiling fan pull chains. I saw them on some "things you didn't know you needed" list or something. But for less than $10, they have made my life infinitely easier and they do give me a little joy every time I pull on them.

Because they're labelled?

Right. I never pull the wrong one anymore because fan=fan and light=light. I know it's a stupid minor thing, but it's great.
