* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: She sometimes has problems with this. For example, she once made a big deal about the Christmas gifts she was giving to Bernice and Delta. Bernice's gift was a giant empty cardboard box, which Luann called a "Big Box of 'Sorry'", as in Luann was apologizing for how self-centered she had acted in the past. Delta's gift turned out to be... Delta's sweater, which Luann had borrowed and never returned. Bernice and Delta were less than impressed, and Luann was left dumbfounded as to why her friends weren't more grateful for [[SarcasmMode these thoughtful Christmas presents.]]

** Her bad gift-giving could be its own RunningGag: In 2011 she gave her entire family empty boxes for Christmas, and then when called out for it she said that each box was "crammed full of love and appreciation for my wonderful family." In 2017 her gift to her father was... [[TrashOfTheTitans cleaning her room.
]] In 2020 she took a book off her dad's shelf (one she had given him previously which he had never read) and wrapped it up and gave it to him again, remarking to herself "dad is so easy to shop for."

* SmittenTeenageGirl: While in high school, Luann was always utterly ''obsessed'' with one boy or another. One of the collected editions of the strip was even titled "Boys, Bras, Braces, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment and Boys]]." Finally having a boyfriend helped her to outgrow this mindset, as she has been much less "boy-crazy" since breaking up with Quill during college.

* StringingTheHopelessSuitorAlong: He was on the receiving end of this from Luann. As much as she didn’t want to date him, she still enjoyed the idea of someone pining for her, she she’d get possessive of Gunther whenever it looked like someone might draw his attention or he’d simply give up on her. And then as soon as he was smitten with her again, she’d go back to ignoring him.
