NEVER park at the end of a row the last spot from a fire hydrant. Your car will get shoved into the fire hydrant spot where you will get a ticket.
If it is a short enough line, and a big enough SUV, the whole line of cars will be sifted forward one spot by the guy at the back looking for a paring space.

We have bumper boards in Chicago too. You can tell a city car from a suburb car by just looking at the bumpers. I have a 2003 Passat for the past 4 years and both F & R bumpers are scratched and dinged. When I lived in the burbs, I had a Volvo station wagon. The bumpers looked untouched but I had several door dent dings.
I'm not vengeful either - it's impossible to keep anything nice in a city.
