I Can't turn off my ceiling fan

I have a Hunter-Douglas (Home Depot) ceiling fan in my office.

It has one of those chain "puller" switches to adjust the speed and to
turn it on or off. As I was turning on the fan, the chain pulled out
and now I can't turn the fan off. HELP!!!!!!!!!

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sy

No controlling wall switch? Start flipping off circuit breakers until you
find the right one.

It's been my experience that mechanical things just work better if you
periodically kick the living sh*t out of them. In this case, it may
not be practical to kick the offending machine, unless you have a very
high kick, or a very low ceiling. My advice would be to jump up and
hang onto the damned thing until you and it come crashing to the
floor. From there, you can easily get a foot, hand, or sledge hammer
on it to reduce it to a multitude of minute pieces, which can then
easily be scooped up and placed in the dustbin. Then go out to Wally
World and get yourself a $9.99 portable, oscillating fan that will
faithfully run longer than your grandchildren will be on this earth.

:-) Put your mouth up to it and do the Ahghghghghgh sound into it.
You'll get a nice tremolo effect. Reminds me of when I was a kid
and made that sound while someone pounded on my back.

I stopped growing up a long long time ago. I'm currently
growing out. :-)

I prefer pedestal fans too. A ceiling fan feels like a giant lawn mower. :)

I refuse to grow up.

I just require re-potting every once in awhile.
