We can ask a question beginning Why should . . . ? to show that we do not understand something.

  • Why should it get colder when you go up a mountain? You're getting nearer the sun.

Why should I? and How should I know? show that we are angry.

  • 'Give me a cigarette.' Why should I?'
  • 'What's Susan's phone number?' How should I know?'
