Do you have people you know but just see them around from time to time and they ask you non revelant questions like
"How's your mom" or how's your dad"?
Its like wtf are you asking me that for? you don't know them and my dad passed away when I was 9 you freakin idiot.

It's just small talk. It's like them asking how are you doing even though they probably don't give a shit.

Most of us just have a routine for greeting people on a daily basis. Mine is something like
Other person: Hey, how are you?
Me: Good, how about you?
Other person: Fine, thanks. Have a nice day.
Me: You too.
I'm so used to saying it that I've accidentally said "You too" to people at the movie theater counter when they say "enjoy the movie". :X

You have six topics... just in the lounge.
Anyways, yeah people ask me that, actually someone just asked me how my mom's doing... & they never even see me or my mom, or ask me how I'm doing. So I just either ignore them, or tell them to go dig a ditch.

I was gonna say "small talk" as well... but it is pretty weird to ask about someone's parents if they've never even met them.
So I guess it's people who are bad at "small talk" that you are talking to man. lol.
Next time just tell them your dad died and see what they say.

The only weird thing is people making 30 pointless threads a day, no offense.

Idk thinking about it people who i work for or with ask how my parents are sometimes without ever meeting them. I ask how others kids are ( i work for a lot of older people) and not think about it really. Just something to talk about without getting into a full deep conversation. Its nice a simple. Like hey how is your daughter, oh she's good thanks for asking nice simple little chit chat and not to in depth.

You literally do just post anything that's on your mind don't you?
It's polite small talk, it's not like your uncle is asking how your parents are, it's just somebody random, who doesn't mean much in your life, talking to you because you're there.

No offense, but you have 6 threads all in one page which I think is a TAD too much. But anyways, ehh it's just small talk and I just move on but if it wasn't I can see it being weird or awkward sometimes

I joked about it with my co-worker after.

Right after I say it I want to almost like, take it back...but then it'd be even more awkward than before. "Thanks, you too. I mean, just kidding, you're not the one eating. I mean, not right now anyway. Maybe you'll eat later, though. Yeah, probably later. You can enjoy your food when you eat later is what I meant. I mean...uh...check please?"

Typically the only people asking me how my parents are, are people who have met my parents. Beyond that, can't say I've ever experienced that.

Zing them next time, just to see the looks on their face.
Person: "So how are your parents?" Me: "Well, Mom took up roller derby & Dad became a nudist. So if you decide to drop by, please call first."
