She was just being honest, and believing in 'your time to go' is a cultural thing in Asia. Not unprofessional at all, and you shouldn't have dropped her over that answer

What answer would have been acceptable to you?

In the first case, she works in sales and didn't know how to respond. In the second case, he probably didn't want to pay for the shots (5k to 7k) and looked for an alternative. I assure you the vast majority don't want to die

I just know that rabies story is made up...

I'm a local, and also passively suicidal. A salesperson has no control over the structural stability of the condo you're asking about, and they likely wouldn't be told about such things anyway. The country sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire and on at least a few fault lines. Nobody can control when earthquakes come, and structural risk assessment isn't part of a saleslady's job. The country also has volcanoes (by the way, if you garden, always live just far enough from one that you don't need to evacuate but close enough for the ash to reach your garden; my potted hibiscus wouldn't stop flowering for two straight years after Taal Volcano last erupted), and so many typhoons that local typhoon names go in alphabetical order each year, and Typhoon Haiyan's local name was Yolanda. Lots of people are afraid of death, that's why they cling so hard to religion. The thing is, there are some things a human just can't do anything about. You can pay someone reputable to build you a house, but what if they do a shoddy job? You won't know until it's partway done. What if they got their position through connections instead of skill and your ceiling collapses anyway? I remember a really old news story from my school days about a condo building that got foreclosed because of a gas leak from pipes that weren't even their doing; they were the gas company's pipes. Everyone who bought a unit there couldn't live there anymore, and couldn't sell either because nobody would buy. If something like that happened, what would you do then? Life is short, especially in a country like this.

If you look at the cost of things, materials and resources are expensive but time and labor aren't. Unfortunately, what that translates to is that life here has little value. Not as bad as a cartel or war zone where you can get killed for looking at someone wrong, but when it comes to basic healthcare and well-being, people don't care. Look at people having kids. Birth rates have dropped, but compared to the West, many people don't bother getting their own lives and finances in order and just have kids randomly. Then you see the kids running around underfed and underweight while the parents sit around drinking Red Horse and being obese. And the cycle repeats when those kids become parents.
