Sometimes the problem isn't the overt actions you see directed at you, but rather what's happening behind the scenes in her life. Sounds like she may be under a lot of stress that you don't know about with someone else and is taking her frustrations out on those whom she feels close enough to to not lose by her negativity. Might want to check in with her to see if everything is okay in other aspects of her life.
My older sister went through this phase with her first child. The problem wasn't with those of us around her but rather the guy with whom she was having the child. He was controlling and, without going into detail, not the best for her. It took him dying of a stroke for her to come out of that shell.

Maybe a warning shot before you pull chocks and separate from her emotionally?
In other news, anyone got a video or an idea of how to get the passenger side downpipe with the y off for a 4wd. All the videos show the driver's side and say the passenger side is the same procedure when it's really not...you can't add an extra long piece of pipe onto it after showing a difficult process of wiggling the driver's side out and expect it to be the same.

So,
Work thing.
Me and another person noticed that a certain person neither of us particularity like is on vacation and left on Friday without locking their work desktop.
Bad thing to do. Especially since he self proclaims that he ain't too good with computers.
We hatched a long joke.
I found the pic that he is using for the desktop and put it in a file. I copied it until I had 1024 copies of it.
I went online and found some (6) weird pics. Nothing super bad. Things like two very large ladies in bikinis touching each other, Four llamas have a group sex thing, closeup pics of some very bad dental infection / rot / possible gangrene, etc.
I changed the desktop setting to show pics from that folder rather than the static pic.
It worked. Most of the time it shows the same pic he had but every once in a while it shows a gross pic for about 5 minutes.
5 minutes seemed too long though. The lowest time setting was 1 min and that also seemed too long.
After careful review and thought, if we left it at 1 minute he may see the pic and have time to baboon howl to someone to come and see. We wanted it to change before anyone could get there.
I asked our IT person (who I know won't rat me out) if that could be changed. He asked me why. Now he is a co-conspirator. Seems 15 sec can be added to the menu in powershell.
Now we wait. Probably months as it will only happen when he has the desktop showing, not when using anything.
