I lived in a place that had outlets on the ceiling once. People would almost get mad, when they visited, demanding to know why. I don't know, I'd say. I rent the place, I didn't wire it. Eventually I found out that someone used to run a sewing business there, and the outlets were above what had been a table for sewing machines.

They’re also handy if you want to have a light above the kitchen table, but don’t want to hardwire it permanently!

@vosechu Yup. I used to have some outlet adapters that had lamp sockets on the end rather than more outlets. Handy for rental spaces with a wall outlet built into the ceiling fixture, or when you wanted your room to have a spooky lit-from-below vibe.
