Is it a bad idea (code or practical) to have an electrical outlet
inside a storage closet?

I have had them put in closets. �See past tense HAD. �They didn't come
in closets. �And then I had them put in closets before they were built
as in remodel. �They are very useful for charging vacuums, etc. �As in
any confined space, you should exercise care. �Things left to charge
too long are not a good idea.

You can NOT have too many electrical outlets, I don't care where you
are. �I just finished a casita, and had them put on the inside wall of
the outside buttresses so that I would have a place to plug in
Christmas lights. �And a little heater for when we go up on the roof
to watch the meteor showers, etc. �I also had a four plug put on EVERY
outside wall at a corner for such things as timers, water features,
low voltage transformers, weed eaters, whatever.

AND even had one 220 plug put outside.

With all those outlets, how close are your neighbors? Do they have
unusual number of extension cords outside?

many years ago I installed a nice outside outlet but found my neighbor
used it more than I did so I installed a master off switch for all
my outside outlets.

neighbor had nerve came over and asked family member to turn them on,
family said i wasnt home and they didnt know how, although the switch
was right by the door they were standing at.

it wasnt the cost of electric it was the principal of the thing
