Parallel parking is when you are parallel to the curb/street, not to the other cars. I.e., one car in front of the other and you may have to park between the rear bumper of one car and the front bumper of another. So you could definitely hit somebody's front bumper parallel parking (with your rear bumper most likely).

Perhaps you mean the cars were parallel to each other? As in you pull into spaces that are side by side.

But if you didn't hit them, I'd ignore it.

I’ve usually heard it called “stall parking” when it’s in a regular parking lot setting

TIL. I've never heard parking lot style parking called "stall parking" before (or anything for that matter), but that makes perfect sense!
