They always check your blood first. Whenever someone is receiving blood, they will always, always draw a sample first. BIMBAM could scream "I'm A+!!!" till he's blue in the face, and they aren't going to take his word for it.
*Snort.* HAHAHA!
I don't know my blood type. I've never thought about it. I don't think I know anyone who does, but then again, I don't think I would think of asking. (Canadian here).
ETA: oh, oh. Old thread. Now I feel like the guy who gets the joke last.
Don't know if its common to know it here, I only know mine (AB+) because of pregnancy (which funnily enough resulted in needing a blood transfusion so yeah, good thing they check that stuff)

Nope. Most people don't, if they don't have a medical condition. I don't know it either.
I don't think most Americans know their blood type. However, I've noticed a lot of people from other countries do. Why is that? In America, you really have no reason to know your blood type (except for certain circumstances like when you need a blood transfusion or if you're pregnant). Please note which country you are from.
I am from the USA and I have known my blood type since I was little because I had to have transfusions when I was a newborn. Throughout my childhood, my mom frequently told me the story of my medical crisis and often mentioned my blood type when she did so.
If I hadn't known it at that point, I would have after I donated blood to the Red Cross for the first time, when I was 19. They gave me a card with my blood type on it. And I recall typing my blood for an introductory class when I was training to be a veterinary technician around age 29.
(I just asked my husband, who was also born in the US, if he knew his blood type. He did, right off the bat, and said that he had had his typed when he was in a general biology class in college.)
In South Korea mostly everyone knows their blood type. Your blood type says a lot about you here. I still do not know my blood type.
