No...but I find it so interesting that if someone yawns, it can make you yawn also. I have had "yawning wars" with friends before. It is quite annoying.
Here is what I found out about them:
It is possible that yawns are contagious because at one time in evolutionary history, the yawn served to coordinate the social behavior of a group of animals. When one member of the group yawned to signal an event, all the other members of the group also yawned. Yawns may still be contagious these days because of a leftover response (a "vestigial" response) that is not used anymore. None of this has been proven true and yawns are still one of the mysteries of the mind.
