Typical circumstances in the 'hood, such as a prevention of a small service due to a late fee.

Another definition is a dramatic situation that's uncommon, but it happens in the 'hood. For example, being late to a late shift due to a shooting.
Person 1: Ay, hit me up.
Person 2: Ghetto situations; Expecting my check, plus my phone bill is about $200.00, mang. Add me on the space, though.

Boss: What makes you late today? An emergency? However, I received your call, so you're excused.
Employee: It was a ghetto situation. On my way to work, there were sirens everywhere after a shooting. It was due to an argument over some loaded dice.
