How do you freak out a person that is Narcissistic? I'm sick of this fake pedestal she sits on. Snide remarks. There has to be a way. Help. I've ignored her to this point. Which I know is driving her crazy, but I need more.

Narcissists are easy to piss off. They have to be the best at Everything (with a capital E). Be careful, they are known to jump into a rage if they are exposed to the reality that they are not better than everyone else.
How to irritate a narcissist:
1. Find a valid criticism.
2. Disagree with something she says.
3. Expose a fake achievement (so you weren't the valedictorian, were you?).
4. If the narcissist says something that is completely false (i.e. I'm best friends with some famous person), call her on it.
5. Call her weak (i.e. suggest that she is controlled by a man or her parents).
6. Tell her that she is not entitled to certain things (but someone else is).
7. Belittle her education (i.e. So, you only have a BA, not a P.hd?)
8. Tell her she looks like she's only 50 (make sure the number is much higher than her actual age).
The worst thing you can do for a narcissist is to remind them that they are like everybody else.
Just be warned, this will probably provoke narcissistic rage. Sam Vaknin writes that the tactic of belittling narcissists in court often provokes rage and can be useful in showing the judge the narcissist's true colors.
Sam Vaknin writes a lot about narcissists. I'd Google him.

Good Luck.

No you don't
The only way of defeating the personality disorder is to not play the game.
Continue ignoring and then ignore some more, and then ignore a little more oh and finally ignore some more.
