is it that difficult to park in SF?
I always make sure I leave plenty of spaces in front and behind me so people can get out WITHOUT hitting my car. I didn't even see this until the next day.

I have seen so many people back into/ram cars parking it is ridiculous. Even SF city workers just mashing into peoples cars. Then getting out and saying "Hey there"

once I rolled back over a lowered integra... talking up on the bumper. Put like a 4 inch deep by at least 6 inch wide scratch across the hood. Left my card. Never got a call... go figure. Guy was parked like an inch away from me on a steep hill. Had it coming.

Sorry to say but it is difficult to park in the city. You seem to be the victim of the long standing bumper rule in the city. 
Basically with limited space, a bump is standard practice to make sure you know when to stop in SF. Sister used to live there and my first advice was to get a beater unless you have a garage.

You are a good man Ray...
And you need to park next to me next time when I visit again so you can block all them jackasses for me!
Dude, we need to hangout so you can take some pics for me. Just don't charge me $200 an hour! 
Yeah, I used to live there too, so I know how it goes. But I've been away for a while, so not used to it anymore.
Hellz yez!
It's no secret, just a nice buffer, good pad, and the right compound, you are set. Then again, all that would cause you a pretty penny, but that's why I am here.
