Bitchy/narcissistic boss? Do less work (meet your responsibilities but forget about going above and beyond, it'll just backfire), be positive to their face and don't trash them elsewhere (no need to praise them, just be professional), and ride it out. They'll leave/be forced out eventually. If they don't leave 1-2 years into the problem, look for another job.

Bitchy coworker? Avoid like the plague. They'll eventually get a reputation but it will take a lot of time and energy, and the goal is for that time and energy not to be yours.

Sadly, my bitchy/narcissistic boss is the wife of the owner. She's not going anywhere

Then you know what you have to do! Leave asap.
