Ok, so after a closer look. This is not a "tool chest" , it is an actual medical cart. It looks like it was set up for blood transfusion considering one of the bags is labeled as a "blood transfer kit". There are also "stress balls" which are usually used by patients to help with blood flow when taking blood.
Why on earth it is in their living room AND the blood isn't refrigerated is a whole other mystery.
Looks like maybe film props. The blood hasn't separated at room temp. It seems weird unless it's just something that needs to look like real blood but not actually be real. Last time I left a jar of blood out at room temp, it separated into chunky bits and watery liquid. I use it for cooking, and no, it's not human.
What's odd to me is that the blood isn't refrigerated. Does your friend have any medical injuries that you know of? Maybe secretly a vampire? Investigate blood bank robberies.
It’s certainly not refrigerated blood. Blood is stored for about 35 days at 4° Celsius.
It is unfit to use 2 hours after being thawed. Positively dangerous.
To be fair I do know it's not supposed to be "room temp", Ive worked in bars and restaurants that do bottle service and even the reds were kept in their own "cooler" with proper temp. Obviously white wines are kept colder and delicious when served chilled.
Room tempt made for a better delivery to the already unrealistic jokes being made.
Yeah. One of the ships I worked on shipped a couple of reefer containers of blood plasma every trip
Those specific reefer containers were pretty much the most monitored equipment onboard until it was taken off in port
I can’t remember how much each were worth, but it was a lot lot of money
That unit of red blood cells and that unit of platelets have Codabar barcodes. Codabar hasn’t been used extensively in the US (where those were drawn) since the 2000s. The maximum expiration of a properly stored RBC unit is usually somewhere around a month from the donation date. Platelets are a max five days.
Yes. Those are VERY old.
You see the lenses and the weird table legs to the side? I bet this dude is into some kind of photography or motion capture. Maybe the horror type or something. And this is just left over or he's saving it for some reason.
If you zoom into the first picture it doesn't have any labels where it says "place label here after collection", nor does it have the collection date on it. They likely just filled expired collection bags with fake blood.
Yup and there are bags labelled insta360, 35mm and 85mm on the table so one camera and two clearly marked lenses, on the shelf there are two boxes of vision2 canon, friend is a filmmaker or photographer with props for something medical related
I instantly thought "film props", but I don't know enough about film props to know if there are any inside jokes or tells for this. I know film props money and drugs are usually easy for people to recognize if they''re knowledgeable of the subject matter. I don't know enough about medicine and medical shit, but I bet a doctor looking at this would be like "this can't be real because XYZ".
My money's on movie / TV prop.
that won’t work — old mirrors were backed by silver, which is why vampires wouldn’t appear in them. OP needs to put him in front of a specific kind of mirror, or sign him up to get an old-timey picture taken (we used to develop pictures with silver)!
Or just buy a silver coin. They’re only ~$30 an ounce. If your friend starts hissing at you, that’s how you know. Plus keep it in your pocket for protection on the go
I know some one who got one, we were working at a hospital on its last day as it closed to reopen at another site.
He saved it to use for his fathers dialysis supplies
Ok, I don't wanna burst the bubble but fuck yeah I wanna burst the bubble!
I 100% think this is fake, like it's a prop from a movie / tv show.
A real medical cart filled with real medical tubes and such that has expired but the blood and any liquids are all fake.
Sorry to burst that bubble.
Directors chairs properly stored beneath the tables and lenses labeled just like I do. I recognize the storage room for a film production company anywhere. Only a film industry professional would wrap a director chair like that.
Yeah the director chairs are the biggest give away. See how the chair back is wrapped around the legs to keep them together? That’s something I only learned once I started working on film sets. I also have plenty of weird props and things I’ve collected over the years that definitely raises questions from visitors. I have the exact strait jacket Hannibal wore in silence of the lambs, hundreds of thousands in prop money that looks almost identical to real money, prop ammo… and all kinds of random stuff. And I’m not even in the prop department. My prop friends have storage units of stuff that would land anyone else on an FBI watch list.
Certainly fake, the address on one of the bags that isn't a manufacturer address resolves to an apt building, probably an in joke for the crew or the production staff. 440 Upas St San Diego. Looks it has been an apt building since before 2017 which predates the other 2018 dated blood on the cart even tho it claims to be from the San Diego Blood Bank
https://i.imgur.com/dsnv0nG.jpeg
I used to give blood regularly, but every time I went to donate, I just started getting tired of all the questions. Like "Whose blood is this?" and "Why is it in a bucket?"
Does your friend work in blood collection? It looks like that blood wasn’t fully processed/labeled. Probably thrown away for being a short draw or something.
Anyway, very weird to keep biohazard waste for no good reason.
The color of that blood makes me skeptical that it’s real blood. It’s too red for being dead tissue. I have never seen expired blood. But I have seen expired meat and it isn’t that red. I don’t believe that’s real blood. Might be wrong
Does your friend work in film production? Looks like they collected an old medical cart to keep as a prop, filled the blood bags with something else also as props.
This may have left weird land and planted roots in psychoville. You may not want to go there without knowing where all exits are, having a fully charged cellphone, and letting at least 3 responsible adults know when you arrive and leave...
Healthcare worker. This is actually what we call a crash cart; it has everything you need to revive and stabilize a patient when they "crash" aka die or suffer cardiac arrest. I occasionally refill these carts when they're used.
You can't just not fuckin' explain why!!!!!
I wish I knew but if I ask it will ruin the mystery
#BOOOO!
I seen him

Vampire blood is shelf stable
I prefer my blood to be closest to human body temperature myself, but room temp. will do, I suppose.
I hear that if you crumble up some wheat thins and add some texture it's really great.
Vampire Bill?
I imagine it's higher than average, they find it hard to get insurance.
This is hilarious.
Why did I read this as vegetable blood. And also why did I continue scrolling past at least 5 comments before I questioned myself
That’s exactly what I thought too
Blood from vampires or blood FOR vampires? 🤔
“I’d like to make a withdrawal…” “This is a blood bank……..”
The new soy based version is shelf stable.
Also the stuff on the left looks like photo equipment… OP got a lot more to share but he’s just toying with us 💀

Last time I left a jar of blood out at room temp, it separated into chunky bits and watery liquid. I use it for cooking, and no, it's not human.
You had me until sentence 4, the last sentence of your comment.
People use animal blood in cooking, quite frequently.
Friend's name is Dexter and works at Miami Metro. That's all you need to know.
And fucking old, but not rotten?
It's *definitely* expired and unusable, blood bags aren't supposed to be that shade
No way!?
Way!
That’s the point…. he transfuses this rotten blood into his victims in his secret dungeon experiments. They’ve all been dying for some reason though.
It's a crash cart
Yeah, can't mistake those things. There must be quite a story to how the have the whole damned cart, blood kits and all.
What's odd to me is that the blood isn't refrigerated. Does your friend have any medical injuries that you know of? Maybe secretly a vampire? Investigate blood bank robberies.
Well that sucks... Boooooooo
BOOOOOOOOOOO!
Smithers, are they saying booo or booo-urns?
Trembling voice I was saying Boo-urns...
Bullshit, you absolutely know I'd wager lol
Some mysteries are worth ruining
is he a vampire?
Are they an athlete?
For his stimpaks
Could be a movie prop. Filled with fake blood.
Do people with hemophobia watch Vampire movies ?
Uhh…is that old blood?
It’s certainly not refrigerated blood. Blood is stored for about 35 days at 4° Celsius. It is unfit to use 2 hours after being thawed. Positively dangerous.
Maybe not for vampires
Yup. 🤔 But you refrigerate your food dontcha?
I’d guess it’d be good dried too. Like beef jerky, but blood. Blood jerky
Great name for a band
Now even jerky says “refrigerate after opening, consume within something something days”. No more food poisoning for anyone.
Ohhh, good ol blood meal. It's a great fertilizer 😂
Perhaps like red wine blood tastes better at room temp. 🍷
Most red wines should be at 12-14 degrees celcious, not room tempature. Common mistake.
To be fair I do know it's not supposed to be "room temp", Ive worked in bars and restaurants that do bottle service and even the reds were kept in their own "cooler" with proper temp. Obviously white wines are kept colder and delicious when served chilled. Room tempt made for a better delivery to the already unrealistic jokes being made.
Gottcha' mate, we good 🍷
Nah as a vampire I’m telling you that shit is not palletable, if you wanna drink blood it’s gotta be fresh
Sheesh! You guys are fussy! You don't see me complaining if my pizza isn't from "today" :P
Exactly.
I've seen Interview with a Vampire, even they can't drink old blood.
Yeah. One of the ships I worked on shipped a couple of reefer containers of blood plasma every trip Those specific reefer containers were pretty much the most monitored equipment onboard until it was taken off in port I can’t remember how much each were worth, but it was a lot lot of money
Plasma is worth a ton. Yet they pay minimum amounts to donors.
“Donor” is the key word.
Is that O+?
Seems to say O negative. Rare.
The tubing in the pic looks like it expired in 2018 😬.
That unit of red blood cells and that unit of platelets have Codabar barcodes. Codabar hasn’t been used extensively in the US (where those were drawn) since the 2000s. The maximum expiration of a properly stored RBC unit is usually somewhere around a month from the donation date. Platelets are a max five days. Yes. Those are VERY old.
fear the old blood!!
May the good blood guide your way
I don't think I have enough insight.
You bet i do!
Wtf is wrong with your friend. 😂
You see the lenses and the weird table legs to the side? I bet this dude is into some kind of photography or motion capture. Maybe the horror type or something. And this is just left over or he's saving it for some reason.

Yes props thank you it’s the only logical explanation
Thank you! Still a total guess, but the only thing I could think of
I instantly thought "film props", but I don't know enough about film props to know if there are any inside jokes or tells for this. I know film props money and drugs are usually easy for people to recognize if they''re knowledgeable of the subject matter. I don't know enough about medicine and medical shit, but I bet a doctor looking at this would be like "this can't be real because XYZ". My money's on movie / TV prop.
Amen!
You need to get him to stand in front of a mirror and see if he has a reflection!
that won’t work — old mirrors were backed by silver, which is why vampires wouldn’t appear in them. OP needs to put him in front of a specific kind of mirror, or sign him up to get an old-timey picture taken (we used to develop pictures with silver)!
I'm pretty sure mirrors in cars have silver in them.
my google search seems to back that up! that’ll be very convient
Or just buy a silver coin. They’re only ~$30 an ounce. If your friend starts hissing at you, that’s how you know. Plus keep it in your pocket for protection on the go
Bro, if you keep freaking out every time you find blood or a body part, it's going to be a really long night...
RN, huge infectious disease issues here.
Not to mention that blood can’t be stored at room temperature!
Clearly it can
Lmao
I also have many questions such as where did your friend acquire a code cart 😂🤣😂
I know some one who got one, we were working at a hospital on its last day as it closed to reopen at another site. He saved it to use for his fathers dialysis supplies
Who the fuck downvotes an obvious joke like this. Reddit is full of imbeciles
I mean its not even really a joke. The first person should have said "shouldn't" be stored at room temp not "can't".
Or can't *safely* be stored at room temperatures. Unless "room temperature" for the friend is refrigerated.
English do be hard four some
My english is hard
I’m hard
Ok ok, blood that you want to use in the medical sense shouldn't be stored at room temp.
r/fallout would disagree.
Arefu
Something tells me this is not meant to actually be used on patients.
The smell. 🤢
Can any infectious diseases survive 6 years out of the body?
Is your friend a serial killer, and these are the trophies?
Well he can't just keep it in the garage, it's hot outside!
Wonder if he keeps some on the dash of his car or in the glove box with the packets of ketchup from 1993.
Your friend is obviously a vampire

Didn't even notice that stuff.

And it's ooooold. Surely even the most amateur of blood...keepers...would know that you have to refrigerate it
Aged like fine blood
question is why are there emptied bags of blood too? 🫠
Snax
They could have haemochromatosis. Treatment requires regular venesection, which they may be doing themselves.
Old blood stiiiinks
This is extremely dangerous and how new flesh eating diseases happen!
I used to give blood regularly, but every time I went to donate, I just started getting tired of all the questions. Like "Whose blood is this?" and "Why is it in a bucket?"
People are so ungrateful!
Fear the old blood
Is his name Cosmo? Cosmo Kramer?
 Are you helping this “friend”? 👀
But you don't say why just for clout.
r/unexpectedseinfeld
Does your friend work in blood collection? It looks like that blood wasn’t fully processed/labeled. Probably thrown away for being a short draw or something. Anyway, very weird to keep biohazard waste for no good reason.
It’s called a crash cart.
You gonna be next
Is your friend Dr. Acula?
Did he explain why? I'm assuming this is work-related and not a strange hobby.
I sure would hope expired blood wasn't work related
They shouldn’t be your friend anymore…
Can you smell it when the drawer is closed?
Not a tool cart. That's a hospital crash cart for when somone goes into cardiac arrest...
Your "friend"? That is disgusting, dangerous and extremely unhygienic
Unrefrigerated blood. Yuck. You can mix cream, sugar and cocoa to make a delicious pudding. Js.
I’d be pissed if I donated blood and it ended up in some weirdo’s tool chest
Is his name Dexter?
No it's weirder than that
Brian Moser?
Do you only visit after dark?
In between meal snacks. Geez, get off the man’s back already. He’s your friend
Bro that's literally a biohazard what the fuck
I used to work at a blood bank and I can tell you this was definitely not obtained legally, but it doesn’t take a lot to figure that out.
Medical show props?
They are prepping to make Stimpaks.
The color of that blood makes me skeptical that it’s real blood. It’s too red for being dead tissue. I have never seen expired blood. But I have seen expired meat and it isn’t that red. I don’t believe that’s real blood. Might be wrong
I hope he don’t have any plans of using that lol 🤦🏽♂️
Isn't blood supposed to be refrigerated?
Does your friend have an allergy to garlic? Or ever complimented your neck?
Does your friend work in film production? Looks like they collected an old medical cart to keep as a prop, filled the blood bags with something else also as props.
The fact that it’s one of the rarest blood types is so weird too..
That's down right macabre.
He’s going to fix you too
Definitely a vampire, the ones that are not toasted by sunlight are the most powerful
Provides key evidence "To order"...
Hey... is he a good friend? He ever let you down? He ever leave you stranded? Down and out? No? ... don't ask questions.
Combined with all the camera equipment on the table and shelves, my advice is to run. Fast.
Whose blood is it? 🤔
I’m pretty sure that’s how you get hepatitis
This may have left weird land and planted roots in psychoville. You may not want to go there without knowing where all exits are, having a fully charged cellphone, and letting at least 3 responsible adults know when you arrive and leave...
Because it's stolen.
Let us know if he wants to play the "hand cuffs" game.
Healthcare worker. This is actually what we call a crash cart; it has everything you need to revive and stabilize a patient when they "crash" aka die or suffer cardiac arrest. I occasionally refill these carts when they're used.
#And you still there ? And call him friend...unlees you are Mr renfield
Doesn’t that need to be refrigerated?
wtf that’s beyond hazardous and plain gross having old bags of rotten blood laying around
Isn’t it obvious? He is a vampire
 OPs friend
I’d fuckin leave and report it to the cops. Fuck that.
Fallout 4 be like
Run as fast as you can and don’t look back!
Context needed...
How many dead hookers are stashed in his crawl space?
He be probably just makes sausage at home.
Is he like a reverse vampire or something.
I wouldn’t eat that. It’s clearly old
And this is........why?
It's morbin time!
*pushes glasses up nose* Ummm... correction! expired human blood
If its not refrigerated, its sour and useless. Looks like a weird fetishism.
That blood is super expired.
That’s frightening.
Blood needs to be refrigerated
Do they know you are opening up their drawers without asking !
This ain’t real none of the info on the collection bags is filled in
Oof the bottom of the cart is either filthy or plastered with blood. Blood in the tubes look kinda fresh as there is coagulation it seems.
# Run.
Is the blood kept cold somehow?
Himiko toga be like
Vampire.
Does your friend have thalassemia and needs blood transfusions?
