In addition to her habit of addressing Charlie Brown as 'Chuck', Peppermint Patty also addresses Lucy by the more formal name of 'Lucille'.

Despite her continuous declarations of the fact she has no idea how to sew, Marcie is strong-armed into trying to create a dress for Peppermint Patty, which turns out disastrous. While preparing for a skating competition, Peppermint Patty learns Marcie's mother owns a sewing machine and automatically assumes Marcie will be able to craft an outfit for her.

Another instance is in the TV special She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown (which is based on a series of strips from November and December 1974). She takes his inability to form a cohesive response as an agreement. Such instances include when in A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving she assumes Charlie Brown would agree to her offer to join him for Thanksgiving dinner. Oftentimes, she will ask a favor or request of someone, and regardless of whether or not they even respond in the first place, will assume they have already agreed to comply, typically because she never gives them an opportunity to respond. One of Peppermint Patty's most troublesome traits, however, is her tendency to only hear what she wants to hear from others. In another strip she let Charlie Brown pitch the last throw of the game (Peppermint Patty pitched a no-hit, no-run game and were leading 50–0 on the 9th inning, 2nd out, 2nd strike), only to see Charlie Brown (obviously Lucy's fault), lose the game. However, she quits in disgust after only one game despite tossing a no-hitter and slamming five home runs, her new team loses, 37-5, because of their somewhat porous defense. In the first series of strips in which Patty appeared from 1966, she actually joins his team as its new pitcher, relegating Charlie Brown to the outfield. Peppermint Patty is a star athlete, especially in baseball, where her team regularly trounces Charlie Brown's squad. Finally, Peppermint Patty exacerbates her stupidity from these mortifications by then stubbornly blaming everyone who tried to warn her and she blindly ignored to her sorrow. Furthermore, when Patty went after Snoopy for this fiasco, she was convinced that the ferocious cat next door, World War II, was Snoopy in disguise for absolutely no rational reason and attacked him, forcing Snoopy to come to Patty's rescue. She later graduated and found out to her total humiliation later when the principal of her regular school explained what she had done.

Furthermore, Peppermint Patty enrolled into the Ace Obedience School at Snoopy's recommendation, took the curriculum with the other dogs and never seriously questioned why she was the only human participating in that manner.

Peppermint Patty's obtuseness got even more pronounced such as when she applied to a school for Gifted Children with a big sack expecting to receive things until the school representative explained to her embarrassment the complete misunderstanding she had about the institution. During a scuffle with Marcie, Snoopy's doghouse (which she thinks is a “guest cottage”) is destroyed, and Marcie finally convinces her friend that Snoopy is a beagle, not a 'funny looking kid with a big nose.' Her realization came during a period when she refused to go to school and instead attempted to stay with Snoopy. Peppermint Patty can be dimwitted until March 21, 1974, she did not realize that Snoopy was a dog. Peppermint Patty finds out that Snoopy is not human in the strip from March 21, 1974. This has been explained by saying that her father works late, and she is too insecure to sleep until he returns home. Peppermint Patty's bad grades are possibly exacerbated by her tendency to sleep through class. She also finds patterns in her true-or-false tests, and often says her answers out loud ('True! False! False! True!') In a series of strips from 1984, Peppermint Patty is held back a grade for failing all of her classes-only to be allowed to return to her old class when her old desk in front of Marcie starts to emit snoring noises, leading children and faculty alike to suspect that the classroom is haunted by a 'snoring ghost'. In one comic strip, she got a Z-, which she called 'sarcasm'.

She is widely known for receiving a D− grade on every test or assignment in school (in 1999, the final full year of Peanuts, her teacher presented her with a certificate placing her in the 'D-Minus Hall of Fame'). Peppermint Patty can often be very lazy, especially when it comes to school.

Peppermint Patty is well known for her identity as a tomboy she often plays sports and is probably the jock of the Peanuts gang.
