How I did it: I signed up as a blood donor and when they called me the first time it said it right there. I'm 0- so everyone wants my blood. Well almost not sure about the rarer types but all the common types can get from me.
Lessons & tips: Useful if you ever need blood. If you got a really rare type you might consider "save some for yourself" in case you ever need a transfusion.

That’s you! O negative blood can be given to anyone. And type AB positive is called the Universal Recipient. Everyone else is somewhere in between.

nods I read up on it but it took me quite long time to wrap my head around why I could donate to everyone but couldn’t get blood back. Why it worked in one direction and not the other so to speak, but I think I figured it out in the end.
