vicarious parasite

Also used in the form “pathetic vicarious parasite.”

I was temporarily comforted by my retired father’s interest in my back surgery until I remembered that he is a pathetic vicarious parasite with the primary objective of obtaining information to gossip and elevate himself in social circles.
