I find it rude to send a message "I'm running 10 mins late, can you wait???" I get a lot from clients "Can you do Tuesday at 3.30pm??"
Mostly from people who aren't rude at all in real life.

IANBU: it is rude!?!
IABU: Wake up grandma, it is 2024!?!

Isn't it fucking rude????????????????????????????????????????

In your circumstance I think it means I know you might say no but I'm begging you to do this and will be grateful. It can read rudely but not always meant that way.

I hate it
I hate it even more when you don't reply to a question immediately and 5 minutes later they text a row of ?????

It doesn't look rude but it does look illiterate

It does come across as impatience/irritation.

Is this likely to come across rudely? Yes, a lot of people will take it that way

Is it definitely intended rudely? No, there’s no way of telling
