I think that it's important that whatever you do, make sure it is something completely harmless. If you want to show that you have a sense of humor and have no ill-will, that is the way to go. Maybe do a google search for "harmless pranks" and see if you can get any ideas. The only one I can suggest is something my brother did to his buddy once--he sneaked out to where his buddy's car was parked at night, and stuck Q-tips into all the seams and cracks of the car, so his buddy had to pluck them all out before he could drive anywhere the next morning. It's just funny, unexpected, but slightly irritating.

I would go in every day with a smile on my face and act like nothing ever happened... Smiling at others, kinda over looking her as if you don't really notice she is there if in the same area.
If you can, have a pretty friend or relative come by and act like they are dating you and got your # from CL haha

yeah - i agree with this
Wow that's great that you took it as a joke and everything. If someone did that to me I'd call the police!
edit: I don't know what planet she is on, really. That is a very immature thing to do. You're phone will most likely be plagued now for years if you don't change your number. This happened to me sort of. Someone was giving my number out to men and I was getting calls from horny men I didn't know. It went on for so long i had to change my number, of course i was a teen so it took a long time for my mom to be convinced to spend the money to change my line. So yes, after more than a year later i was still bothered on that phone.
Not to mention, her being a clerk at a store--wow she's got guts. I couldn't imagine doing that to a customer. I would be afraid they'd complain about me.

No, one time I was watching Judge Judy (okay sad I get my legal information from JJ, but anyways...) and this guy posted his ex-girlfriend's information on craigslist and she had guys calling her...but he also posted her address (10x worse I know, but phone number's bad as well...) and he got busted for it before he was on Judge Judy ... the gf had filed criminal charges against him and was in civil court defending some ludicrous charge from him, which he lost.
It's a form of harassment I think. It's false advertising too.
But it's definitely illegal.

I'm surprised you thought it was a prank, because the first thing I thought when I read this post was "Wow, this girl is a bitch." Even if she didn't like you, what she did was unnecessary.

lol that's a brave thing to do, but I can't decide if she's funny or cruel. 
Although I can't think of anything you can do to get back at her as such, the satisfaction of a prank is often in knowing that it worked, so you could simple go and speak to her again and mention that you never heard back from her (making her think the prank failed). That in itself might be good enough 'revenge'.
You could then try asking her out or getting her number depending how the conversation goes if you're still interested, though I think I'd be wary of her.
I quite liked twiggle's idea of pretending you met someone better than her via the prank, but it would require too much pretending for my own tastes.

I would just ignore it. Girls get hit on so often by strangers that it gets to the point where its irritating, we have a way of automatically dehumanizing those guys.

Its the truth. Whats a girl supposed to think when a strange man who knows nothing about you except that he finds you physically attractive gives you his number? He comes off as shallow, and like he's only after one thing. It would be different if you had an actual conversation that didn't consist of nothing but pickup lines and chit-chat. I know I would never call a complete stranger. Thats how date-rape happens.

I agree an encounter such as that, based entirely on looks, is shallow and most likely not worth any time. It's still no excuse to do something as ignorant as putting someone's number on craigslist for any knucklehead to call. A simple "No thanks keep it" would have worked just fine. That was totally uncalled for and immediately showed the low level of her maturity.

I too have notice that giving my numbers to girls has been a loosing proposition but after reading what MercySparx wrote it has at least given me a diffrent perspective.
If i was a girl and a strange person came up to me I too would most likely shoot them down but i difinitely wouldn't do something as cruel as post the person # online. I am sure that girl knows plenty of guys who deserve that kind of treatment but you didn't do much. You just gave her your number.
She doesn't seem shy so she could of easily said NO Thanks.

of course what she did was immature, I'm just trying shed light on how a person would be able to do that to another human being (involuntarily dehumanizing them)
Also she was probably influenced by a friend eg, "You know what would be hillarious.."

before you do anything heinous, you might wanna make sure it was her that posted your number up there. it might have been someone else and the timing just happend to seem like she prob did it. Go up to her in a few days and try the caual conversation thing for a few seconds so you don't come across as a shallow guy trying to hit on hot chix like Mercysparx is saying, then say something like: "hey not that i'm pointing any fingers, but i've been getting a lot of weird calls (don't mention craigslist, play kinda dumb) from numbers i don't know, do you think it may have been possible someone got a hold of my number from you?"
see how she responds to that then take things from there.

I wouldn't give this girl the time of day anymore. You're right not to take it personally, but I think you have to work up to giving somebody your number, otherwise you come off as superficial. You have to earn a certain level of rapport or feel some kind of connection before you go there. She put your number in the casual encounters section for a reason.

Ouch. What a way to get burned.
It sounds bitchy, but then again I don't know her so who I am to judge? Maybe she just did it for the lulz. Or maybe she was trying to teach you a lesson: don't give your phone number out to random people even if that person happens to be really attractive.

That wasn't very nice. I could think of quite a few of really unpleasant things to do to her. But revenge i have to learn isn't the way to a happy life and karma is a nasty nasty B&^%h. I would just move on and not put anymore thought into it than you already have. Why give this unworthy and selfish person even another moment in your life. People like that tend to get whats coming to them.
Also i use to have issues approaching women also. Then i just stopped giving a poop and just went up to whoever caught my eye and said Hello. Figure i had nothing to lose anyways. And made quite a few friends that way. Any-who good luck.

lol I find it quite funny too...
my mum's had a funny exchange with a horny guy on her cell phone once via text messages, no idea how he got her number... so yeah, you could double check if it even was her - or do something like Twiggle said, stop by and chat, 'Hey I met a great guy the other day, we're meeting up tomorrow, name's Hank - he's a masseur...'? 'Wanna double date?' (you could show pic of a hot guy, body-builder or such?) Okay, that's just me being mean a bit.. if she'll start cracking up or look guilty, you could find your 'prankster' - if she'll just look 'off' possibly she had nothing to do with it? (but then your chances of eternal bliss with her are probably off... lol)
maybe it's better to stay away like others said... or make sure you improve her impression of you.. (if it's possible) in the future, it's better if you get the girl's contact, yeah - maybe e-mail or FB contact if she doesn't like to give out her number..
someone told me he used to get called a lot by people who wanted to get the vet's office (similar numbers in phone book) 'just sayin'...?
(maybe there's a 'hot girl' out there wondering why she hasn't got any messages??)
if she really did put your number on Craiglist, it could be for the lulz, or out of being mean (a bit, or a lot - we don't know the girl!)
some girls really get hit on a lot, like waitresses etc, so you need to make a good impression to even be considered... or she may be 'taken' or into other types of guys (or girls)...
Basically I wouldn't decide before finding out if she really did it at all... You could also come up to her and say something like, 'So you put numbers of all the guys you're dying for on Craigslist?' and see how she reacts lol..
maybe she's just really BORED in that store!! lol
(but yeah, it's probably illegal and not really 'wife material', hm!)
