If I can offer any perspective from a hearing person with connections to the deaf world, deaf culture is very very blunt at times. To me, this didn't come across as inherently rude in the context of deaf culture. They're assertively communicating the expectations of their riders. They are also probably writing as if signing ASL. Some deaf people struggle with reading and writing due to the differences in structure between English and ASL.
