Visible crew/equipment: When Buck accidentally takes the stray cat into the house, if you look in the slat between the frame and the door you can see a crewmember waiting to close it, not the kids. This person is too big for a 6 year old. (01:00:25)

Chosen answer: He's being sarcastic, as Buck says in the beginning some of his hats anger a lot of people, which probably connects to when his hat gets taken by one of the teenagers at the party.
Buck is actually referring to his aviator style hat in the earlier scene about people being angered by it. He's wearing the fedora style hat in the scene en route to the party. But I agree the guy was being sarcastic about teenagers.
