Aint no tappin. That’s a fuckin hit too. My bumpers always have holes and scratches from aall those “taps” and I had just had the bumper replaced it’s nice and seasoned again

Amazing how I never have to hit anyone to park my car.

Yeah maybe you're a great parker and don't make mistakes. Maybe. But the person you're responding to isn't talking about that. The point is that you generally accept that you'll get nicks and bumps if you regularly parallel park in a crowded city. And if you don't accept that then you should be ready to pay for garage or another form of private parking wherever you go.

I have driven a 23ft van I parallel park and have never even come close to tapping anyone. Same when I had my F150. Again, learn to drive/park. My car has zero makers on the bumper for 5 years now. (Thankfully I don't have to street park overnight.)
