Go to your local department store (Wallies, Kmart, etc.) and go to the cosmetics area. Get a bottle of "Artificial Nail Remover" - the glue that is used to apply them is cosmetic grade super glue. Try this on the sink (if it's porcelain - if fiberglass or plastic, try an inconspicuous spot first to make sure it doesn't eat the finish). Acetone will work also but not as well. Don't know if it'll work on the pants - but it's worth a try if they're unwearable as is. The nail remover should work on your hands - also, a nail file or super fine sandpaper will work too. Good luck!

Don't know for sure what your sink is made of? China? or fiberglass?
the Acetone type nail polish remover is safe for china, your hands and might be ok for the fiberglass. not sure about that. try it in out of sight place?? on your pants. It should be ok.
Now it might take the finish off the fiberglass while it is removing the superglue tube, but that would be better than leaving the tube there.

Acetone or nail polisher remover both work good. I've had luck removing super glue by using 'Goof Off' - you should be able to find it in the hardware section of any store. Good luck.
