Yes i do.
I find it very contagious,you don't realize you're doing it half the time.
I'm terrible for yawning when i'm on the phone,specially to my mum (not that the conversation is boring),
But once you start,it seems very hard to stop.

It has to do with evolution. Bearing the teeth is thought to be a sign of agression in animals. Someone shows you theirs and you must show them yours. That'll teach 'em!

yes i agree...yawning can be contagious and normally if one person yawns then others nearby will yawn too

This is a quite well accepted theory. Yawning is contagious.

it is possible but it won't happen every time... i thought your question might be about spelling when I saw 'got a quistion' rather than 'got a question' :-)
