Why didn't you close the door?

1-Why should I have closed it?
2-Why should I have?
3-Why should I?

Which of the sentence 1 to 3 are acceptable in this context?

Gratefully,
Navi
 
Assuming we're not talking about how rude they sound, and we're focusing on the grammar, then 1 and 2 are okay, but 3 would suggest a future action, not a past one..
 
I don't know if this is BrE, but 2 sounds strange to me.
 
Thank you both.

The sentences are pointed questions. I understand that.

How about:

4-Why would I have?
5-Why would I?
