Seems like it would be more prudent on a Nat 1 on a handshake would be like, “you forgot you just wiped your brow so your hand is sweaty and you grasp too early and too lightly, a look of discomfort and disgust crosses the guards face, you now have a disadvantage on all verbal checks with this guard from now on.” That still really sucks but nobody is rolling for initiative there

Being it talking to someone, opening a door or getting out of bed.
