Where I come from, people use double negatives with the understanding that the sentence turns out positive in the end. So, "I don't have no interest" can mean you have some vague interest, in colloquial speech...

It's what context you're using the double negative in. That sentence can be taken two ways: I don't have any "interest," and I don't have "no interest." Double negatives are used more than I'd like to admit in my hometown. A woman at work actually said, "Nope, those dishes don't need no washing no way."
