translation - Meaning of いなくもない



I am not sure about いなくもない in the following sentence:


「私の尋ねていることにちゃんと答えなさい」と腹をたてる人もいなくもない。 I guess the meaning is that people react pissed when someone tells them to just answer the question(s), but I am bit unsure about いなくもない.


Does it mean something like 'sometimes people might react angry when they are told to just answer the question'?
