Original: When Microsoft unveiled its new age-guessing website on Wednesday, it probably didn't intend to piss off half the world . . . but that's exactly what How-Old.net accomplished.

People all over the Internet are suffering from injured pride after being incorrectly evaluated by this robot, and their reactions are simply hilarious. Read on for a few of the funniest #howoldrobot fails.
