I'm giving blood tomorrow, which I'm really pumped up for. I get to help people and find out what it feels like to get a liter of blood drained from my body. It's like killing one bird with two stones! Wait, that doesn't sound right...
Anyway, in the spirit of blood, I want to know what your blood type is. I'm A-, which I just found out is the 3rd rarest blood type (according to Wikipedia at least). I had always thought mine was one of the more common ones. But apparently all the negatives are rare compared to the positives. So how about that. My mom is an O- and my dad is A+, so I guess that's how I came to be A-.
So now for the obvious question... What's your blood type?
O+
I can give blood to just about anyone.
O+ as well. It is one of the most common types anyways.
I think mine is A+
AB+

Asshole. You can get anybody's blood if you need it.
I have no idea. I've never given blood, but i've had my blood drawn more times than I can count. I always ask my doctor what my blood type is, but they always say I need to make a "special request" to get that information, or something...
I have no idea, and I don't really care
O+.
Didn't even know my blood type until I asked my Mom.
I haven't a clue.
Though it would be nice to know...
I owe my Dr. Money so I'm not gonna call him to ask what my blood type is. :D
A+. Yeah.
I'm pretty sure I'm O+.

To anyone who's a +. The true universal donor is O-.
I also happen to be O+.
A+.

And I donate a rare-ish type. I'm awesome.
Blood type percentages, according to Wikipedia (rounded averages on my part):

A+ (28% of world)
B+ (20% of world)
AB+ (5% of world)
O- (4% of world)
A- (3% of world)
B- (1% of world)
AB- (.50% of world)

But they didn't mention the oddball ones like OB. Rare as hell, but it exists.

Um, what? Is that like a mix of O cells and B cells? That 0.0000001% of the world has?
Can OB actually exist?
But either way, assuming I did the test right in Freshman Biology, I'm O-.
I actually know someone with it. It makes him very sick since the O wants to reject the B. It is possible, but chances are you'll go by in life never actually meeting someone with it.
I tried to donate blood twice at a couple of blood drives my high school had... but they wouldn't let me 'cause I don't weigh enough. ._. Never found out my blood type though.

Based upon the logic of the types my parents have, in which my mom is A+ and my dad B-, I should be a AB- or AB+, not totally sure.
My grandfather (on my mom's side) was an AB+, so that increases the chances for that. As for the others, my grandmother on my mom's side was a A+, as for my dad's side, notta clue, but one had to be a B.
Note, I have had blood drawn, but never for blood type testing, which I should probably do sometime in the future, just to be safe.
