Even though I have a boring, commonplace blood type I usually donate a couple of times a year. And I always bank my own blood before a surgery.
Just seems like a wise precaution.

Nope, I always break into a cold sweat and pass out whenever I get blood drawn. Can't stand even looking at a needle.

I know I should due to my blood type, O Neg, but last time I donated the guy stabbed the wrong spot in my arm and I could not straighten my arm without horrible pain for 3 weeks. Have not gone back since...2 years ago.

I don't because it's mine!

lol, but my girlfriend used to do blood but about a month ago she started donating platelets instead. She said the only weird thing with platelets is the put the blood back into you at room temperature, so she feels very cold when she gets out.

I do it every time the hospital I'm at has their blood drive. It's usually 2-3 times per year.

I used to until I had a bad reaction and almost passed out.
Used to donate plasma too which I thought was pretty cool. Got to sit there and watch tv under a cozy blanket for an hour and eat pizza afterward for free.

My dad has a rare blood type and gave blood so much over the years that he actually had to quit because he looked like a junkie and they had a hard time finding veins.
